    وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَضَعَ الْحَقَّ عَلَى لِسَان عمر يَقُول بِهِ» وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: مَا كُنَّا نُبْعِدُ أَنَّ السَّكِينَةَ تَنْطِقُ عَلَى لِسَانِ عمر. رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي «دَلَائِل النُّبُوَّة»

    Abu Huraira told that he heard God’s messenger say, “While I was asleep I saw myself above a well on which there was a bucket. I drew from it what God wished, then the son of Abu Quhafa[1] drew from it one bucketful or two, but in his drawing there was some weakness for which may God forgive him. It then changed into a large bucket which the son of al-Khattab took hold of, and I have never seen a strong man drawing as `Umar did, till the camels had enough and lay down[2].” [1] i.e., Abu Bakr [2] Or, “the people satisfied their thirst and stayed by the water.” The Arabic is darab an nas bi-aian In Ibn `Umar’s version he said, “Then the son of al-Khattab took it from Abu Bakr’s hand and it changed into a large bucket. I have not seen a strong man accomplishing what he did, till the people had enough and the camels had enough and lay down.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

I wanted to enter and look at it, but I remembered your jealous nature.” `Umar replied, “Messenger of God for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom, could I be jealous of you?” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    Sa’d b. Abu Waqqas told that `Umar b. al-Khattab asked permission from God’s messenger to enter when there were with him some women of Quraish who were talking volubly to him with loud voices. They got up when `Umar asked permission and hastened to veil themselves, and when `Umar entered God’s messenger was laughing, so he said, “God keep you smiling, messenger of God!” The Prophet replied, “I was astonished at these women who are with me, for when they heard your voice, they hastened to veil themselves.” `Umar then said, “Enemies of yourselves, do you stand in awe of me and do not stand in awe of God’s messenger?” They replied, “Yes, you are more churlish and harsher.” God’s messenger then said, “Never mind, son of al-Khattab; I swear by Him in whose hand my soul is that the devil has never met you walking on a mountain-road without going to another one than yours.” Al-Humaidi said that after “messenger of God” al-Barqani added “What makes you laugh[*]?” *i.e., after `Umar’s remark, “God keep you smiling, messenger of God.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    عَن عمر ذُكِرَ عِنْدَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَبَكَى وَقَالَ: وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ عَمَلِي كُلَّهُ مِثْلُ عَمَلِهِ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا مِنْ أَيَّامِهِ وَلَيْلَةً وَاحِدَةً مِنْ لَيَالِيهِ أَمَّا لَيْلَتُهُ فَلَيْلَةٌ سَارَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْغَار فَلَمَّا انتهينا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ لَا تَدْخُلُهُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَ قَبْلَكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ أَصَابَنِي دُونَكَ فَدَخَلَ فَكَسَحَهُ وَوَجَدَ فِي جَانِبِهِ ثُقْبًا فَشَقَّ إزَاره وسدها بِهِ وَبَقِي مِنْهَا اثْنَان فألقمها رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ادْخُلْ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَوُضِعَ رَأسه فِي حجره وَنَامَ فَلُدِغَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي رِجْلِهِ مِنَ الْجُحر وَلم يَتَحَرَّك مَخَافَة أَن ينتبه رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَقَطَتْ دُمُوعُهُ عَلَى وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ؟» قَالَ: لُدِغْتُ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي فَتَفِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَهَبَ مَا يَجِدُهُ ثُمَّ انْتَقَضَ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ سَبَبَ مَوْتِهِ وَأَمَّا يَوْمُهُ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ارْتَدَّتِ الْعَرَبُ وَقَالُوا: لَا نُؤَدِّي زَكَاةً. فَقَالَ: لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عِقَالًا لَجَاهَدْتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ. فَقُلْتُ: يَا خَلِيفَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَأَلَّفِ النَّاسَ وَارْفُقْ بِهِمْ. فَقَالَ لِي: أَجَبَّارٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَخَوَّارٌ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ؟ إِنَّهُ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ الْوَحْيُ وَتَمَّ الدِّينُ أَيَنْقُصُ وَأَنا حَيّ؟ . رَوَاهُ رزين

    When Abu Bakr was mentioned in `Umar’s presence he wept and said, “I wish all my good deeds could compare with what he did on a certain day and a certain night. The night was the one on which he went with God’s messenger to the cave and said when they reached it, `I swear by God that you will not enter it before I have first done so, for if there is anything in it I shall be smitten by it and not you.’ He then entered and swept it and found some holes in the side of it, so he tore up his lower-garment and stopped them with it; but as two were still left he thrust his feet into them[*] and told God’s messenger to enter. When he had done so the Prophet laid his head on his lap and went to sleep. Abu Bakr’s foot in one of the holes received a sting, but he did not move for fear God’s messenger might awake. His tears, however, fell on God’s messenger’s face, and he asked him what was the matter with him. He replied, `O you for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom, I have been stung.’ God’s messenger then spat and the pain left him, but the effect of the poison later returned and was the cause of his death. The day was when God’s messenger died and the Arabs apostatised and refused to pay zakat . He said, `If they were to refuse me a tether, I would strive with them over it.’ I said, `Successor of God’s messenger, be affable and gentle to the people,’ but he replied, `Have you who were a powerful man in the pre-Islamic period become weak in the Islamic period? The revelation has ceased and the religion has been perfected. Is it to diminish while I am alive?’” *Literally gave his feet as mouthfuls. Razin transmitted it.
