Abdalaziz, Omar ben

Abdalaziz, (Omar ben), a caliph raised to "Mahomet's bosom" in reward of his great abstinence and self-denial.
-- Herbelot, 690.
He was by no means scrupulous; nor did he think with the caliph Omar ben Abdalaziz that it was necessary to make a hell of this world to enjoy paradise in the next.--W. Beckford: Vathek (1786).
