  "en": "Adi ibn Arta'a, Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz's governor, consulted the Basrans on digging a canal — Wak'i ibn Abi Sud wrote 'no canal, no home'; some say Adi's aim was to spite Bahz ibn Yazid ibn al-Muhallab. Umar's permission came, the canal was dug from Butq Shirin, the people came out to watch, and Adi bore al-Hasan al-Basri on the dam as he pointed."
