و عاش العرام بن منذر بن زبيد بن قيس بن حارثة بن لام دهرا طويلا في الجاهلية و أدرك عمر بن عبد العزيز و أدخل عليه و قد اختلفت ترقوتاه و سقط حاجباه فقيل له ما أدركت فقال- و و الله ما أدري أ أدركت أمة على عهد ذي القرنين أم كنت أقدما متى تخلعا مني القميص تبينا جآجئ لم يكسين لحما و لا دما
A’rraam bin Mundhar bin Zubaid bin Qais bin Haritha bin Laam lived for a long period during the time of ignorance and saw the time of Umar bin Abdul Aziz and met him.

Hence, he asked, “What did you get?” He recited the following lines in reply: And I swear by Allah that I don’t know whether I Have seen the people of the time of Dhulqarnain and thought that I am older than them When you will remove my shirt so that You would see the chest, which neither has flesh nor blood.
