حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَقُولُ لَقَدْ فَتَحَ الْفُتُوحَ قَوْمٌ مَا کَانَتْ حِلْيَةُ سُيُوفِهِمْ الذَّهَبَ وَلَا الْفِضَّةَ إِنَّمَا کَانَتْ حِلْيَتُهُمْ الْعَلَابِيَّ وَالْآنُکَ وَالْحَدِيدَ
