Umar asked, “Who had come to you?”
The woman replied, “I do not know. To be sure he is a Muslim. Every morning he came here. ”
“What did he do?” Umar chase
She said, “He swept our house, our batter mix, milking our cattle, then go home.”
While out, Umar said, “You make tired replace you, O Abu Bakr. You make tired of your place, O Abu Bakr. ”
