    Buraida told that God’s messenger went out on one of his expeditions, and when he came back a black slave-girl came and said, “Messenger of God, I have vowed that if God brings you back safe, I shall play the tambourine in front of you and sing.” He replied, “If you have made a vow, play; otherwise, do not.” She began to play and-Abu Bakr entered while she was playing; then `Ali entered while she was playing; then `Uthman entered while she was playing; then `Umar entered and she threw the tambourine under her and sat on it. God’s messenger then said, “The devil is afraid of you, `Umar. I was sitting while she was playing, then Abu Bakr entered while she was playing, then `Ali entered while she was playing, then `Uthman entered while she was playing, but when you entered, `Umar, she threw down the tambourine.” Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a hasan sahih gharib tradition.

    إِن سلم من عنعنة الْحسن الْبَصْرِيّ) وَعَن أبي بكرَة أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ مِيزَانًا نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَوُزِنْتَ أَنْتَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَجَحْتَ أَنْتَ وَوُزِنَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَرَجَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَوُزِنَ عُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ فَرَجَحَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ رُفِعَ الْمِيزَانُ ” فَاسْتَاءَ لَهَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْنِي فَسَاءَهُ ذَلِكَ. فَقَالَ: «خِلَافَةُ نُبُوَّةٍ ثُمَّ يُؤْتِي اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ مَنْ يَشَاءُ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد

    Abu Bakra told that a man said to God’s messenger, “I saw as though a scale descended from the sky. You and Abu Bakr were weighed and you were heavier Abu Bakr and `Umar were weighed and Abu Bakr was heavier; `Umar and `Uthman were weighed and `Umar was heavier; then the scale was taken up.” God’s messenger was grieved about that, meaning that what the man told him grieved him. He then said, “There will be a caliphate on the model of prophecy, then God will give the kingdom to whom He wills.” Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud transmitted it.

    `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.

    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.)

    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.

    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.)
