Hadith 29:127
Waki’ narrated to us, from Isma’il, from Qays, who said: When ‘Umar arrived in Ash-Sham, the people met him while he was upon a camel. They said: "O Commander of the Faithful, if only you would ride a pack horse, so that the great men of the people and their notables might meet you." ‘Umar said: "I do not see you [looking] here; the matter is only from here," and he pointed with his hand toward the sky.
حدثنا وكيع عن إسماعيل عن قيس قال لما قدم عمر الشام استقبله الناس وهو على البعير فقالوا يا أمير المؤمنين لو ركبت برذونا يلقاك عظماء الناس ووجوههم فقال عمر لا أراكم ها هنا إنما الأمر من هنا وأشار بيده إلى السماء
