- .... Abu Umar ibn Abd al-Bar narrated with his chain of transmission from Zayd ibn Aslam, from his father, that Ali and Zubair were, when Abu Bakr was pledged allegiance to, entering upon Fatimah and consulting her about their matter. Umar heard of this and entered upon her, saying: "O daughter of the Messenger of Allah, there was no one in creation whom we loved more than your father, and no one we love more than you after him." He continued, "And it has reached me that these men are entering upon you, and if it reaches me again, I will take action, and I will take action." Then he left and they came to her. She said to them: "Indeed, Umar has come to me and sworn an oath that if you return, he will act, and by God, he will fulfill his vow." So consider your matter and do not pay attention to this. And they turned away and did not return until they had pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with them all....

- Al-Nuwairi: Ahmad ibn Abd al-Wahhab ibn Muhammad ibn Abd al-Da'im al-Qurashi al-Taymi al-Bakri Shihab al-Din al-Nuwairi: A scholar and researcher with a wealth of knowledge, his lineage traced to Nuwaira (a village in Bani Suwayf, Egypt), where he was born and raised in Qus.

He connected with Sultan Al-Malik al-Nasir, who entrusted him with some of his matters. He served in various governmental positions and took on the oversight of the army in Tripoli. He also oversaw the diwan in both Dakahlia and Al-Murtahiya. He was of quick understanding, good-looking, and possessed a natural generosity and affection for his companions. He had a modest body of poetry and composed good prose.

It is sufficient to note that he authored the monumental work (Nihayat al-Arb fi Funun al-Adab - End of the Four in the Arts of Literature), which is very large and resembles an encyclopedia, reflecting the extent of knowledge available to Arabs in his time. Fazilif states that despite the late era in which Nihayat al-Arb was written, it contains significant accounts of Sicily, which he transcribed from ancient historians whose works have not survived to us, such as Ibn al-Raqiq, Ibn Rushiq, Ibn Shaddad, and others. He passed away in Cairo.
