   كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَتَرَاءَيْنَا الْهِلَالَ، وَكُنْتُ رَجُلًا حَدِيدَ الْبَصَرِ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ رَآهُ غَيْرِي، قَالَ: فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ لِعُمَرَ: أَمَا تَرَاهُ ؟ فَجَعَلَ لَا يَرَاهُ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ عُمَرُ: سَأَرَاهُ وَأَنَا مُسْتَلْقٍ عَلَى فِرَاشِي، ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُرِينَا مَصَارِعَ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ بِالْأَمْسِ، قَالَ: يَقُولُ: هَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلَانٍ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَخْطَؤُوا الْحُدُودَ الَّتِي حَدَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: فَجُعِلُوا فِي بِئْرٍ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ: يَا فُلَانُ بْنَ فُلَانٍ، وَيَا فُلَانُ بْنَ فُلَانٍ، هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ حَقًّا ؟ فَإِنِّي قَدْ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي اللهُ حَقًّا، قَالَ عُمَرُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، تُكَلِّمُ أَجْسَادًا لَا أَرْوَاحَ فِيهَا ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَرُدُّوا عَلَيَّ شَيْئًا

   ✧ We were with Umar b. al-Khattab in Madinah. We sighted the new moon. I was a man of sharp sight, and I saw it while no one else claimed to have seen it. I kept saying to Umar: 'Do you not see it?' but he could not see it. Umar said: 'I will see it while lying on my bed.' Then he began to tell us about the people of Badr, saying: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ showed us the places where the people of Badr would fall the day before, saying: 'This is where so-and-so will fall tomorrow, if Allah wills.' Umar said: By the One who sent him with the truth, they did not miss the spots that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had marked. They were thrown into a well, one on top of another. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went until he reached them and said: 'O so-and-so son of so-and-so, and O so-and-so son of so-and-so, have you found what Allah and His Messenger promised you to be true? For I have found what Allah promised me to be true.' Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you speak to bodies without souls?' He said: 'You are not more able to hear what I say than they are, except that they cannot reply to me.'

   خَطَبَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ بِالْجَابِيَةِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَامِي فِيكُمُ الْيَوْمَ، قَالَ: أَحْسِنُوا إِلَى أَصْحَابِي، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ يَفْشُو الْكَذِبُ حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ لَا يُسْأَلُهَا، وَيَحْلِفُ عَلَى الْيَمِينِ لَا يُسْأَلُهَا، فَمَنْ أَرَادَ بُحْبُوحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَلْزَمِ الْجَمَاعَةَ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْوَاحِدِ، وَهُوَ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبْعَدُ، فَلَا يَخْلُوَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِامْرَأَةٍ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ ثَالِثُهُمَا، مَنْ سَرَّتْهُ حَسَنَتُهُ وَسَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ

   ✧ Umar b. al-Khattab addressed us at al-Jabiya and said: O people, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us as I stand among you today. He said: Be good to my Companions, then to those who follow them, then lying will spread until a man testifies without being asked to testify and swears an oath without being asked to swear. Whoever desires the spaciousness of Paradise, let him adhere to the community, for Satan is with the solitary individual and is farther from two. Let none of you be alone with a woman, for Satan is the third of them. Whoever is pleased by his good deeds and grieved by his evil deeds is a believer.

   ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood in my place among you today and said: Indeed, be good to my Companions, then to those who follow them. Then he mentioned something similar to the hadith of Shayban.

Then lying will spread until a man swears an oath before being asked to swear and testifies before being asked to testify. Whoever among you loves to attain the spaciousness of Paradise, let him adhere to the community, for Satan is with the solitary individual and is farther from two. Indeed, let no man be alone with a woman, for Satan is the third of them. Indeed, whoever among you is grieved by his evil deeds and pleased by his good deeds is a believer.

   كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ أَتَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ فَقِيلَ: مَا أَفْطَرَ مُذْ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: لَا صَامَ وَلَا أَفْطَرَ - أَوْ: مَا صَامَ وَمَا أَفْطَرَ، شَكَّ غَيْلَانُ - فَلَمَّا رَأَى عُمَرُ غَضَبَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، صَوْمُ يَوْمَيْنِ وَإِفْطَارُ يَوْمٍ ؟ قَالَ: وَيُطِيقُ ذَاكَ أَحَدٌ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، صَوْمُ يَوْمٍ وَإِفْطَارُ يَوْمٍ ؟ قَالَ: ذَاكَ صَوْمُ أَخِي دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَوْمُ يَوْمٍ وَإِفْطَارُ يَوْمَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ: وَمَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، صَوْمُ يَوْمِ الِاثْنَيْنِ ؟ قَالَ: ذَاكَ يَوْمٌ وُلِدْتُ فِيهِ، وَيَوْمٌ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ النُّبُوَّةُ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَوْمُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ وَيَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ، قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: يُكَفِّرُ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: مَا قَبْلَهَا، أَوْ: مَا بَعْدَهَا، شَكَّ أَبُو هِلَالٍ

   ✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came upon a man, and it was said: He has not broken his fast for such and such a time. He said: He neither fasted nor broke his fast—or: He did not fast and did not break his fast, Ghaylan was unsure. When Umar saw the Prophet's ﷺ anger, he said: O Messenger of Allah, fasting two days and breaking fast one day? He said: Can anyone endure that? I said: O Messenger of Allah, fasting one day and breaking fast one day? He said: That is the fast of my brother Dawud. He said: O Messenger of Allah, fasting one day and breaking fast two days? He said: Who can endure that? He said: O Messenger of Allah, fasting on Mondays? He said: That is the day I was born and the day prophethood was sent down to me. He said: O Messenger of Allah, fasting the day of Arafah and the day of Ashura. He said: One of them expiates and the other said: what is before it, or what is after it, Abu Hilal was unsure.

   أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَقَدْ وَقَعَ بِهَا مَرَضٌ، فَهُمْ يَمُوتُونَ مَوْتًا ذَرِيعًا، فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ جِنَازَةٌ فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا خَيْرٌ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَجَبَتْ، ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ أُخْرَى فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا شَرٌّ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَجَبَتْ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الْأَسْوَدِ: قُلْتُ: مَا وَجَبَتْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: أَيُّمَا مُسْلِمٍ شَهِدَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةٌ بِخَيْرٍ أَدْخَلَهُ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: وَثَلَاثَةٌ ؟ قَالَ: وَثَلَاثَةٌ، قُلْنَا: وَاثْنَانِ ؟ قَالَ: وَاثْنَانِ، ثُمَّ لَمْ نَسْأَلْهُ عَنِ الْوَاحِدِ

   ✧ I came to Madinah when a disease had struck it, and people were dying rapidly. I sat with Umar b. al-Khattab. A funeral procession passed by and its deceased was praised with good, so Umar said: It has become obligatory. Then another passed by and its deceased was spoken of with evil, so Umar said: It has become obligatory. Abu al-Aswad said: I asked: What has become obligatory, O Commander of the Faithful? He said: I said as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Any Muslim for whom four people testify to good, Allah will admit him to Paradise. We said: And three? He said: And three. We said: And two? He said: And two. Then we did not ask him about one.

   أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ يُسَايِرُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ، ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَقُلْتُ: ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ عُمَرُ، سَأَلْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثًا، كُلَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يُجِيبُكَ، فَحَرَّكْتُ بَعِيرِي وَتَقَدَّمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّاسِ، فَلَمْ أَنْشَبْ أَنْ سَمِعْتُ صَارِخًا يُنَادِي، فَأَتَيْتُ، قُلْتُ: لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ نَزَلَ فِيَّ قُرْآنٌ، فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: نَزَلَتْ عَلَيَّ اللَّيْلَةَ سُورَةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا لِيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ

Then he asked him again, but he did not answer him. Then he asked him again, but he did not answer him. Umar said: I said to myself: 'May your mother lose you, Umar! You asked the Messenger of God ﷺ three times, and every time he did not answer you.' So I spurred my camel and went ahead of the people. No sooner had I done so than I heard a caller crying out, so I went back. I said: 'I feared that something of the Qur'an had been revealed concerning me.' I greeted him, and the Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'A surah was revealed to me tonight that is dearer to me than all that the sun rises upon.' Then he recited: 'Indeed, We have granted you a clear victory, that God may forgive you your past and future sins.'

    ✧ O son of al-Khattab, are you not content that for us is the Hereafter and for them is this world? I said: 'Yes.' He said: And I entered upon him when I entered, and I saw anger in his face. I said: 'O Messenger of God, what distresses you concerning the matter of the women? If you have divorced them, then God is with you, and His angels, and Jibril and Mika'il, and I and Abu Bakr and the believers are with you.' And rarely have I spoken—and praise be to God—any words except that I hoped God would confirm the saying I uttered. He said: And this verse was revealed, the verse of choice: 'It may be that his Lord, if he divorces you, will give him in exchange wives better than you, and if you two support one another against him, then indeed God is his protector, and Jibril, and the righteous of the believers, and the angels after that are his supporters.' And 'A'isha daughter of Abu Bakr and Hafsa were supporting one another against the rest of the Prophet's ﷺ wives. I said: 'O Messenger of God, have you divorced them?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'O Messenger of God, I entered the mosque and the Muslims were scratching with pebbles, saying: The Messenger of God ﷺ has divorced his wives. So come down and inform them that you have not divorced them.' He said: 'Yes, if you wish.' And I kept speaking to him until the anger left his face and until he smiled and laughed, and he had the finest front teeth of anyone. Then the Prophet of God ﷺ came down, and I came down clinging to the palm trunk. The Messenger of God ﷺ descended as if walking on the ground without touching it with his hand. I said to him: 'O Messenger of God, you were in the upper room only twenty-nine days?' He said: 'The month may be twenty-nine.' Then I stood at the door of the mosque and called out at the top of my voice: 'He has not divorced his wives.' He said: And this verse was revealed: 'And when there comes to them a matter of security or fear, they spread it abroad. But if they had referred it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them, those who can derive it from them would know it.' And I was the one who derived that matter, and God revealed the verse of choice.

    أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَطَبَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ، فَذَكَرَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ، وَذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ دِيكًا نَقَرَنِي نَقْرَةً أَوْ نَقْرَتَيْنِ، وَإِنِّي لَا أُرَاهُ إِلَّا لِحُضُورِ أَجَلِي، وَإِنَّ أَقْوَامًا يَأْمُرُونَنِي أَنْ أَسْتَخْلِفَ، وَإِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُضِيعَ دِينَهُ وَلَا خِلَافَتَهُ، وَلَا الَّذِي بَعَثَ بِهِ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ أَقْوَامًا سَيَطْعَنُونَ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ، أَنَا ضَرَبْتُهُمْ بِيَدِي هَذِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَأُولَئِكَ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ الْكُفَّارُ الضُّلَّالُ، فَإِنْ عَجِلَ بِي أَمْرٌ فَالْخِلَافَةُ شُورَى بَيْنَ هَؤُلَاءِ النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ، وَإِنِّي لَا أَدَعُ بَعْدِي شَيْئًا أَهَمَّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الْكَلَالَةِ، وَمَا رَاجَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي شَيْءٍ مَا رَاجَعْتُهُ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ، وَمَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِي شَيْءٍ مَا أَغْلَظَ لِي فِيهِ، حَتَّى طَعَنَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِي صَدْرِي، وَقَالَ لِي: يَا عُمَرُ، أَلَا تَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ الَّتِي فِي آخِرِ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ ؟ وَإِنِّي إِنْ أَعِشْ أَقْضِ فِيهِ بِقَضِيَّةٍ يَقْضِي بِهَا مَنْ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ عَلَى أُمَرَاءِ الْأَمْصَارِ، فَإِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُهُمْ لِيُعَلِّمُوهُمْ دِينَهُمْ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِمْ وَيَعْدِلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، وَيَقْسِمُوا لَهُمْ فَيْئَهُمْ، وَيَرْفَعُوا إِلَيَّ مَا أَشْكَلَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ. ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرَتَيْنِ لَا أُرَاهُمَا إِلَّا خَبِيثَتَيْنِ: هَذَا الْبَصَلُ وَالثُّومُ، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا وَجَدَ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ رِيحَهُمَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ، فَمَنْ أَكَلَهُمَا فَلْيُمِتْهُمَا طَبْخًا

    ✧ Umar b. al-Khattab delivered a Friday sermon. He mentioned the Prophet of Allah and mentioned Abu Bakr, then said: 'I saw as if a rooster pecked me once or twice, and I see that only as portending the approach of my appointed time. Some people are telling me to appoint a successor, but Allah would not neglect His religion, His caliphate, or that with which He sent His Prophet ﷺ. I know that some people will criticize this matter; I struck them with this hand of mine for the sake of Islam. If they do so, they are the enemies of Allah, the disbelievers, the misguided. If death comes to me soon, the caliphate is a matter of consultation among these individuals with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased when he passed away. I will not leave behind anything more important to me than kalala. I never went back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about anything as much as I did about kalala, and he never spoke harshly to me about anything as he did about it, until he poked his finger into my chest and said to me: "O Umar, is the verse of summer at the end of Surah al-Nisa' not enough for you?" If I live, I will issue a ruling on it by which those who recite the Qur'an and those who do not recite the Qur'an will judge.' Then he said: 'O Allah, I call You to witness over the governors of the garrison cities, for I sent them only to teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet, to be just with them, to distribute their booty among them, and to refer to me whatever of their affairs is unclear to them. Then you, O people, eat of two plants that I consider only impure: this onion and garlic. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he detected their odor on a man in the mosque, order him to be taken out to al-Baqi'. So whoever eats them should kill their odor by cooking.'

    ✧ Umar b. al-Khattab said: 'Who witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the Bedouin came to him with a rabbit?' A man from the group said: 'I did. The Bedouin brought it cleaned and prepared, presenting it as a gift to the Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Eat.' A man from the group said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I saw it bleeding.' So the people ate, but the Bedouin did not eat. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'Will you not eat?' He said: 'I am fasting.' He said: 'Why not [use] the white [eggs]?'

Umar kept calming down and concealing his anger until he returned to his previous state. Then he said, 'Woe to you! By Allah, I do not know of anyone among the people more deserving of that than him. I will tell you about that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would often spend the night conversing with Abu Bakr regarding some affair of the Muslims. One night he conversed with him while I was with him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left walking, and we walked with him. There was a man standing and praying in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood listening to his recitation. When we were about to recognize the man, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever would like to recite the Quran fresh as it was revealed, let him recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm Abd.'

    ✧ I witnessed Umar b. al-Khattab while he was addressing the people. He said, 'O people, a time has come upon me when I thought that whoever recited the Quran desired Allah and what is with Him. Now it seems to me that some people recite it desiring thereby people and desiring thereby the world. Verily, desire Allah with your deeds. We only knew you when the revelation was descending, and when the Prophet ﷺ was among us, and when Allah informed us of your news. Now the revelation has stopped and the Prophet of Allah has gone. We only know you by what we say to you. Whoever we see good from, we think good of him and love him for it. Whoever we see evil from, we think evil of him and hate him for it. Your secrets are between you and your Lord. I only send my governors to teach you your religion and to teach you your Sunnah. I do not send them to beat your backs or to take your wealth. Whoever is troubled by any of that, let him bring it to me. By the One in Whose hand is Umar's soul, I will surely give you retribution from him.' He said, 'Amr b. al-As stood up and said, 'O Commander of the Faithful, what do you think if you send one of your governors and he disciplines a man from his subjects and beats him, will you give retribution from him?' He said, 'Yes, by the One in Whose hand is Umar's soul, I will surely give retribution from him. Should I not give retribution when I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ give retribution from himself? Do not beat the Muslims and humiliate them, do not withhold their rights and make them disbelieve, do not send them to the frontiers and tempt them, and do not station them in the forests and waste them.'

     خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ الظَّهِيرَةَ، فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَخْرَجَكَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ ؟ قَالَ: أَخْرَجَنِي الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَجَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، مَا أَخْرَجَكَ ؟ قَالَ: أَخْرَجَنِي الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَعَدَ عُمَرُ، وَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُهُمَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ بِكُمَا مِنْ قُوَّةٍ فَتَنْطَلِقَانِ إِلَى هَذَا النَّخْلِ فَتُصِيبَانِ طَعَامًا وَشَرَابًا وَظِلًّا ؟ قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: مُرُّوا بِنَا إِلَى ابْنِ التَّيِّهَانِ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا فَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَأَمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ وَرَاءَ الْبَابِ تَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ وَتُرِيدُ أَنْ يَزِيدَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ خَرَجَتْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ تَسْعَى خَلْفَهُمْ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَدْ وَاللهِ سَمِعْتُ تَسْلِيمَكَ، وَلَكِنِّي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَزِيدَنَا مِنْ سَلَامِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرًا، وَقَالَ: أَيْنَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ مَا أَرَاهُ ؟ قَالَتْ: هُوَ قَرِيبٌ، ذَهَبَ يَسْتَعْذِبُ لَنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ، ادْخُلُوا فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي السَّاعَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، فَبَسَطَتْ لَهُمْ بِسَاطًا تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ وَفَرِحَ بِهِمْ، وَقَرَّتْ عَيْنُهُ بِهِمْ، وَصَعِدَ عَلَى نَخْلَةٍ فَصَرَمَ لَهُمْ عِذْقًا، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: حَسْبُكَ يَا أَبَا الْهَيْثَمِ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ بُسْرِهِ وَمِنْ رُطَبِهِ وَمِنْ تَذْنُوبِهِ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ بِمَاءٍ فَشَرِبُوا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: هَذَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ الَّذِي تُسْأَلُونَ عَنْهُ، وَقَامَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ لِيَذْبَحَ لَهُمْ شَاةً، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِيَّاكَ وَاللَّبُونَ، وَقَامَتْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ تَعْجِنُ لَهُمْ وَتَخْبِزُ، وَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رُؤُوسَهُمْ لِلْقَائِلَةِ، فَانْتَبَهُوا وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ طَعَامُهُمْ، فَوُضِعَ الطَّعَامُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَكَلُوا وَشَبِعُوا وَحَمِدُوا اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَرَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أُمُّ الْهَيْثَمِ بَقِيَّةَ الْأَعْذَاقِ، فَأَكَلُوا مِنْ رُطَبِهِ وَمِنْ تَذْنُوبِهِ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَدَعَا لَهُمْ

     ✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ went out at midday and found Abu Bakr in the mosque. He said: What brought you out at this hour? He said: The One who brought you out, O Messenger of God. Then Umar b. al-Khattab came, and he said: O Ibn al-Khattab, what brought you out? He said: The One who brought you both out, O Messenger of God. Umar sat down, and the Messenger of God ﷺ turned to talk with them. Then he said: Do you have strength to go to this palm grove and get food, drink, and shade? We said: Yes. He said: Take us to Ibn al-Tayyihan, Abu al-Haytham al-Ansari. The Messenger of God ﷺ went ahead of us and greeted, and asked permission three times. Umm al-Haytham was behind the door listening to the speech and wished the Messenger of God ﷺ would give her more. When the Messenger of God ﷺ was about to leave, Umm al-Haytham came out running after them and said: O Messenger of God, by God I heard your greeting, but I wished that you would increase us in your greetings. The Messenger of God ﷺ said something good to her and said: Where is Abu al-Haytham? I do not see him. She said: He is nearby; he has gone to fetch fresh water for us. Come in; he will come this hour, God willing. She spread a mat for them under a tree. Abu al-Haytham came and was delighted with them, and his eye was cooled by them. He climbed a palm tree and cut a bunch of dates for them. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Enough for you, O Abu al-Haytham. He said: O Messenger of God, you may eat from its unripe dates, its ripe dates, and its hanging clusters. Then he brought them water, and they drank. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: This is part of the delight about which you will be asked. Abu al-Haytham got up to slaughter a sheep for them, and the Messenger of God ﷺ said to him: Beware of milch animals. Umm al-Haytham got up to knead dough for them and bake. The Messenger of God ﷺ, Abu Bakr, and Umar laid their heads down for the midday nap. They woke up and their food was ready. The food was placed before them, and they ate and were satisfied and praised God, Mighty and Majestic. Umm al-Haytham returned to them the remainder of the date clusters, and they ate from its ripe dates and hanging clusters. The Messenger of God ﷺ greeted them and supplicated for them.

     ✧ The martyrs are four: A believing man of excellent faith who met the enemy and was true to God until he was killed—that is the one to whom people will raise their eyes on the Day of Resurrection, like this, and he raised his head until his cap fell; I do not know whether it was Umar's cap or the Prophet's ﷺ. And a believing man of excellent faith, such that when he met the enemy it was as if his skin was being struck with the thorns of the talh tree out of cowardice; a stray arrow came to him and killed him, and he is in the second rank. And a believing man who mixed a good deed with an evil one, met the enemy and was true to God until he was killed—that one is in the third rank. And a believing man who was immoderate against himself, met the enemy and was true to God until he was killed—that one is in the fourth rank.

     ✧ He gave a horse as charity in the way of God. When we gave charity in the way of God, we brought it to the Messenger of God ﷺ and handed it to him, and he placed it where God showed him. I brought the horse and handed it to him, and he mounted a man from his companions on it. I then found it being sold in the market, and I wanted to buy it. I went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said: Do not buy it, and do not take back anything of your charity.

     خَطَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ: رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ دِيكًا أَحْمَرَ نَقَرَ فِيَّ نَقْرَةً أَوْ نَقْرَتَيْنِ، وَلَا أُرَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا لِحُضُورِ أَجَلِي، فَإِنْ عَجِلَ بِي أَمْرٌ فَإِنَّ الْخِلَافَةَ شُورَى فِي هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ السِّتَّةِ الَّذِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ، وَإِنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ نَاسًا سَيَطْعَنُونَ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ، أَنَا قَاتَلْتُهُمْ بِيَدِي هَذِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ، فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَأُولَئِكَ أَعْدَاءُ اللهِ الْكُفَّارُ الضُّلَّالُ، وَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أُمَرَاءِ الْأَمْصَارِ، فَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُهُمْ لِيُعَلِّمُوا النَّاسَ دِينَهُمْ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ، وَيَقْسِمُوا فَيْئَهُمْ، وَمَا أَغْلَظَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي شَيْءٍ، أَوْ: مَا نَازَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ آيَةِ الْكَلَالَةِ، حَتَّى ضَرَبَ صَدْرِي، وَقَالَ: يَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ الَّتِي أُنْزِلَتْ فِي آخِرِ النِّسَاءِ يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلالَةِ وَمَا قُضِيَ فِيهَا بِقَضَاءٍ يَعْلَمُهُ مَنْ يَقْرَأُ وَمَنْ لَا يَقْرَأُ، هُوَ مَا خَلَا الْأَبَ، كَذَا أَحْسَبُ. أَلَا إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ شَجَرَتَيْنِ مَا أُرَاهُمَا إِلَّا خَبِيثَتَيْنِ: الْبَصَلِ وَالثُّومِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ بِالرَّجُلِ يُوجَدُ مِنْهُ رِيحُهُمَا يُخْرَجُ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ، فَمَنْ كَانَ لَا بُدَّ آكِلَهُمَا فَلْيُمِتْهُمَا طَبْخًا

     ✧ Umar b. al-Khattab delivered a sermon and said: I saw in a dream as if a red rooster pecked me once or twice, and I see that only as the approach of my term. If my affair hastens, then the caliphate is a consultation among these six persons with whom the Messenger of God ﷺ was pleased when he passed away. I know that people will criticize this matter; I fought them with this hand of mine for Islam. If they do so, they are the enemies of God, the disbelievers, the misguided. I bear witness concerning the governors of the regions: I sent them only to teach the people their religion and the Sunnah of their Prophet ﷺ and to distribute their spoils. The Messenger of God ﷺ did not speak harshly to me about anything, or: I did not dispute with the Messenger of God ﷺ about anything regarding the verse of al-kalala, until he struck my chest and said: The verse of summer, which was sent down at the end of Surah al-Nisa, suffices you: 'They ask you for a ruling. Say: God gives you a ruling concerning al-kalala.' No ruling was decided in it that is known to those who read and those who do not read; it is what excludes the father — so I think. Indeed, O people, you eat from two plants that I consider nothing but foul: onion and garlic. The Messenger of God ﷺ used to order that a man from whom their smell is detected be taken out to al-Baqi'. Whoever must eat them should kill their odor by cooking.
