Hadith 28:663

Ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated to us, from al-Aswad ibn Qays and Ibrahim ibn al-Muntashir, from Ibn al-Aqmar, who said: The cavalry raided in al-Sham, and the Arabian horses caught up [to the enemy] on their day, while the pack horses (kawādin) caught up the next morning. Ibn Abi Humsa said: "I will not make the one who caught up equal to the one who did not catch up." So he wrote to ‘Umar. ‘Umar said: "May the mother of the Wada‘i be bereaved of him! He has indeed reminded [me] of it. Execute it according to what he said."

حدثنا بن عيينة عن الأسود بن قيس وإبراهيم بن المنتشر عن بن الأقمر قال أغارت الخيل بالشام فأدركت العراب من يومها وأدركت الكوادن ضحى الغد فقال بن أبي حمصة لا اجعل من أدرك كمن لم يدرك فكتب إلى عمر فقال عمر هبلت الوادعي أمه لقد اذكرت به أمضوها على ما قال
