`Adi bin Hatim:
We came to `Umar in a delegation (during his rule). He started calling the men one by one, calling
each by his name. (As he did not call me early) I said to him. "Don't you know me, O chief of the
Believers?" He said, "Yes, you embraced Islam when they (i.e. your people) disbelieved; you have
come (to the Truth) when they ran away; you fulfilled your promises when they broke theirs; and you
recognized it (i.e. the Truth of Islam) when they denied it." On that, `Adi said, "I therefore don't care."
