Chapter: The merits of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه

Narrated Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas:`Umar bin Al-Khattab asked the permission of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to see him while some Quraishi women were sitting with him, talking to him and asking him for more expenses, raising their voices above the voice of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). When `Umar asked for the permission to enter, the women quickly put on their veils. Allah'sf Apostle allowed him to enter and `Umar came in while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was smiling, `Umar said "O Allah's Apostle! May Allah always keep you smiling." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "These women who have been here, roused my wonder, for as soon as they heard your voice, they quickly put on their veils. "`Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You have more right to be feared by them than I." Then `Umar addressed the women saying, "O enemies of yourselves! You fear me more than you do Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" They said, "Yes, for you are harsher and sterner than Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Ibn Al-Khattab! By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Never does Satan find you going on a way, but he takes another way other than yours."

‘Ali ibn ‘Abd Allah related to us: Ya‘qub ibn Ibrahim related to us, saying: My father related to me, on the authority of Salih, on the authority of Ibn Shihab: ‘Abd al-Hamid informed me that Muhammad ibn Sa‘d informed him that his father said:— ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn ‘Abd Allah related to me: Ibrahim ibn Sa‘d related to us, on the authority of Salih, on the authority of Ibn Shihab, on the authority of ‘Abd al-Hamid ibn ‘Abd ar-Rahman ibn Zayd, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqas, on the authority of his father, who said: ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab asked leave to see the Messenger of Allah while there were with the latter some women of Quraysh, who were speaking to him and were raising their voices above his voice. And when ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab asked leave to enter, they rose and went behind a curtain. Then the Messenger of Allah gave him leave, and ‘Umar entered; and the Messenger of Allah was laughing. Thereupon ‘Umar said: May Allah keep thee laughing all thy life, O Messenger of Allah!— The Prophet said: I wonder at these [women] who were with me and, upon hearing thy voice, went behind the curtain.—‘Umar said: But it is more fit that they should fear thee, O Messenger of Allah!—Thereupon he addressed [the women]: O ye enemies of yourselves! Do ye fear me, and fear not the Messenger of Allah?—And the Messenger of Allah said: This is true, O Ibn al-Khattab! By Him in Whose hand is my soul! If Satan would encounter thee in some way, he would certainly take a way different from thine!
