I saw 'Umar bin Al-Khattab a few days before he was stabbed in Medina. He was standing with
Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman and 'Uthman bin Hunaif to whom he said, "What have you done? Do you
think that you have imposed more taxation on the land (of As-Swad i.e. 'Iraq) than it can bear?"
They replied, "We have imposed on it what it can bear because of its great yield." 'Umar again
said, "Check whether you have imposed on the land what it can not bear." They said, "No, (we
haven't)." 'Umar added, "If Allah should keep me alive I will let the widows of Iraq need no men
to support them after me." But only four days had elapsed when he was stabbed (to death) ..
