Q
What does this narration reveal about the character and virtues of Umar ibn al-Khattab?
A
We were sitting with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) he said, “While I was sleeping, I saw myself in Paradise, and
behold, a woman was performing ablution by the side of a palace. I asked, ‘For whom is this palace?’
They replied, ‘For `Umar’ Then I remembered the Ghira of `Umar and returned immediately.” `Umar
wept (on hearing that) and said, ” Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!
How dare I think of my Ghira being offended by you.’
