It is narrated from Yahya bin Saeed that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, used to send forty thousand camels in a year to those going to Syria. He would give one camel per person, and to those going to Iraq, he would give one camel for every two people. A person from Iraq came and said to Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, "Give me and Suhaim one camel." Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "I ask you by Allah, by Suhaim do you mean a water skin?" He replied: "Yes."
