Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1856b
"عَنْ (سَعْدِ) الْجَارِى، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ (أَنَّهُ) دَعَا أُمَّ كُلثُومٍ بنْتَ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِى طَالبٍ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ فَوَجَدَهَا تَبكْى، فَقَالَ: مَا يُبْكِيكِ؟ فَقَالَتْ: يَا أميرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ هَذَا الْيَهودِى -تَعْنِى: كَعْب الأَخْبَارِ- يَقُولُ: إِنَّكَ عَلَى بَابِ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: مَا شَاءَ اللَّه، وَاللَّه إِنِّى لأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ اللَّه خَلَقَنِى سَعِيدًا، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى كَعْبٍ، فَدَعَاهُ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ كَعْبٌ قَالَ: يَا أَميرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ (لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَىَّ) وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ (لا يَنْسَلِخُ ذُو الْحجَّةِ حَتَّى تَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أى شَىْءٍ هَذَا؟ مَرَّةٍ فِى الْجَنَّةِ وَمَرَّةٍ فِى النَّارِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ) إِنَّا لَنَجِدُكَ فِى كِتَابِ اللَّه عَلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أبْوَابِ جَهَنَّمَ تَمْنَعُ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَقَعُوا فِيهَا، فَإِذَا مِتَّ لَمْ يَزَالُوا يَقْتَحِمُونَ فِيهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ".

"From Sa'd al-Jari, the freed slave of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab called Umm Kulthum daughter of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was married to him, and found her weeping. He said: What makes you weep? She said: O Commander of the Believers, this Jew, meaning Ka'b al-Ahbar, says that you are at one of the gates of Hell. 'Umar said: Whatever Allah wills. By Allah, I hope that Allah created me fortunate. Then he sent for Ka'b and summoned him. When Ka'b came, he said: O Commander of the Believers, do not hasten against me, and by Him in whose hand my soul is (the month of Dhu al-Hijjah will not end until you enter Paradise. 'Umar said: What is this? Once in Paradise and once in the Fire? He said: O Commander of the Believers, by Him in whose hand my soul is) we find you in the Book of Allah at one of the gates of Hell, preventing people from falling into it. When you die, they will continue to plunge into it until the Day of Resurrection."
