    عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ” بَينا رجل يَسُوق بقرة إِذْ أعيي فَرَكِبَهَا فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّا لَمْ نُخْلَقْ لِهَذَا إِنَّمَا خُلِقْنَا لِحِرَاثَةِ الْأَرْضِ. فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَقَرَةٌ تَكَلَّمُ “. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَإِنِّي أومن بِهَذَا أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ» . وَمَا هُمَا ثَمَّ وَقَالَ: ” بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ فِي غَنَمٍ لَهُ إِذْ عدا الذِّئْب فَذهب عَلَى شَاةٍ مِنْهَا فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَدْرَكَهَا صَاحِبُهَا فَاسْتَنْقَذَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ الذِّئْبُ: فَمَنْ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبْعِ يَوْمَ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا غَيْرِي؟ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ الله ذِئْب يتَكَلَّم؟ “. قَالَ: أُومِنُ بِهِ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ ” وَمَا هما ثمَّ. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ

    Abu Huraira said God’s messenger told that while a man was driving a cow, he grew weary and mounted on its back, whereupon it said, “We were not created for this, but only for tilling the ground.” The people said, “Glory be to God! Can a cow speak?” and God’s messenger replied, “I believe it, as also do Abu Bakr and `Umar, but they were not present at the time. He then told that while a man was shepherding some sheep of his, a wolf attacked one of them and seized it. Its owner caught up on it and rescued it and the wolf said to him, “Who will look after it when the beast of prey’s day comes and it has no shepherd but me?” The people said, “Glory be to God! Can a wolf speak?” and he replied, “I believe it, as also do Abu Bakr and `Umar,” but they were not present at the time. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    وَعَن المِسور بن مَخْرَمةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا طُعِنَ عُمَرُ جَعَلَ يَأْلَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَكَأَنَّهُ يُجَزِّعُهُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَقَدْ صَحِبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ صُحْبَتَهُ ثُمَّ فَارَقَكَ وَهُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ ثُمَّ صَحِبْتَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَأَحْسَنْتَ صُحْبَتَهُ ثُمَّ فَارَقَكَ وَهُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ ثُمَّ صَحِبْتَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ صُحْبَتَهُمْ وَلَئِنْ فَارَقْتَهُمْ لَتُفَارِقَنَّهُمْ وَهُمْ عَنْكَ رَاضُونَ. قَالَ: أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ صُحْبَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم وَرضَاهُ فَإِنَّمَا ذَاك مَنٌّ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ صُحْبَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَرِضَاهُ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِك من من الله جلّ ذكره مَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيَّ. وَأَمَّا مَا تَرَى مِنْ جزعي فَهُوَ من أَجلك وَأجل أَصْحَابِكَ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي طِلَاعَ الْأَرْضِ ذَهَبا لافتديت بِهِ من عَذَاب الله عز وَجل قبل أَن أرَاهُ. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

    Al-Miswar b. Makhrama said: When `Umar was stabbed he began to suffer, and Ibn `Abbas who seemed to be trying to console him said, “Do not worry about all that. You were a good companion to God’s messenger and when he left you, he was pleased with you; you were a good companion to Abu Bakr and when he left you, he was pleased with you; you have been a good companion to the Muslims and if you leave them, you will do so when they are pleased with you.” He replied, “As for what you have mentioned about my companionship with God’s messenger and his good pleasure, that was simply a favour from God which He bestowed on me; as for what you have mentioned about my companionship with Abu Bakr and his good pleasure, that was simply a favour from God which He bestowed on me; but as for my anxiety which you see, it is on account of you and your companions. I swear by God that if I had as much gold as would fill the earth, I would ransom myself with it from God’s punishment before seeing Him.” Bukhari transmitted.

    Ibn Mas’ud said `Umar was declared superior to mankind for four reasons: (1) By the mention of the prisoners at the battle of Badr. He ordered that they be killed and God most high sent down, “Were it not that a decree had come previously from God a severe punishment would have come to you for what you took[1].” (2) By his mention of the seclusion. He commanded the Prophet’s wives to seclude themselves and Zainab said to him, “Have you been set over us, son of al-Khattab, when the revelation comes down in our houses?” Then God most high sent down, “And when you ask them for anything ask them from behind a screen[2].” (3) By the Prophet’s supplication, “0 God, strengthen Islam by `Umar.” (4) By his opinion about Abu Bakr to whom he was the first to swear allegiance. Quran, 8:68. Quran, 33:53. Ahmad transmitted it.

    عَن أنس وَابْن عمر أَن عمر قَالَ: وَافَقْتُ رَبِّي فِي ثَلَاثٍ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اتَّخَذْنَا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى؟ فَنَزَلَتْ [وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى] . وَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى نِسَائِكَ الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَهُنَّ يَحْتَجِبْنَ؟ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ وَاجْتَمَعَ نِسَاءُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْغَيْرَةِ فَقُلْتُ [عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طلَّقكنَّ أَن يُبدلهُ أَزْوَاجًا خيرا منكنَّ] فَنزلت كَذَلِك وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: وَافَقْتُ رَبِّي فِي ثَلَاثٍ: فِي مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَفِي الْحِجَابِ وَفِي أُسَارَى بَدْرٍ. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ

    Anas and Ibn `Umar told that ‘Umar said: I agreed with my Lord[1] regarding three matters. I said, “Messenger of God, would that we could take Abraham’s station as a place of prayer!” and the revelation came down, “And take Abraham’s station as a place of prayer[2].” I said, “Messenger of God, both pious and profligate come in where your women are. If only you would order them to seclude themselves!” Then the verse about secluding came down[3]. The Prophet’s wives united in jealousy and I said, “Perhaps if he divorces you his Lord will give him better wives than you in place of you.” Then a revelation to that effect came down[4]. In a version by Ibn `Umar he told that ‘Umar said: I agreed with my Lord regarding three matters, Abraham’s station, the seclusion, and the prisoners at Badr. i.e., he expressed opinions which were found to agree with Quran verses revealed later. Cf. Quran. 2: 125. Cf. Quran, 33:53. Cf. Quran, 66:5. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    `A’isha said: When God’s messenger was seated, we heard confused sounds and boys’ voices, so he got up and saw an Abyssinian woman dancing with the boys around her. He said, “Come and look, `A’isha,” so I went and placed my chin on God’s messenger’s shoulder and began to look at her over his shoulder. He then said to me, “Have you not had enough? Have you not had enough?” and I began to say, “No,” in order that I might look where I was with him. But `Umar came along, and when the people ran away from her[*] God’s messenger said, “I am looking at the devils of jinn and men who have fled from `Umar.” I then went back. *i.e., the Abyssinian woman. Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a hasan sahih gharib tradition.
