لعمر أبيك والأخبار تنمي

السياق · The story

A Roman merchant brought a garment of Caesar to Mecca and offered it to Umarah ibn al-Walid, who thought the price too high. Amr ibn al-As then bought it for a hundred camels and walked proudly in it. This led to an exchange of poetry and boasting between Amr and Umarah, prompting Amr to compose these verses.
