در امارت فقر را افزودہ اندمثل سلمان در مدائن بودہ اند
English translation
Asceticism was their way of life; to cultivate it was their constant strife. They lived as Salman lived in Ctesiphon.

Urdu translation
انہوں نے اپنی امارت کے دوران فقر میں اضافہ کیا ؛ وہ اس طرح زندگی بسر کرتے رہے جس طرح سلمان فارسی (رضی اللہ) مدائن میں رہے۔
