"If a goat had died at the Euphrates"

Umar Ibn Al-Khattab said:

لو مات جدي بطف الفرات لخشيت أن يحاسب اللّه به عمر

ENGLISH:

"If a goat had died with the driftage of the Euphrates, I would worry that Omar might be held accountable for it".

NEDERLANDS:

"Als een bok bij de Eufraat (in Iraq) doodgaat, dan vrees ik dat Allaah daar Umar ter verantwoording voor zal roepen!"

["At-Tabaqaat", 3/305].
