"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: إِنَّ إسْلامَ عُمَر كَانَ عِزّا وإِنْ هجْرَتُه كَانَتْ فَتْحًا أَوْ نَصْرًا وَإمَارَتَهُ كَانَتْ رَحْمَةً، واللهِ ما اسْتَطَعْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّىَ حَوْلَ الْبَيْتِ ظَاهِرين حَتَّى أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ، فَلَمَّا أَسلَمَ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى صَليْنَا وإنِّى لأحْسِبُ بَيْنَ عَيْنى عُمَرَ مَلكًا يُسَدِّدُهُ، وإِنِّى لأحْسبُ الشَّيطانَ يِفرْقه وإِذَا ذُكِرَ الصَّالحُونَ فحيى () أهَلًا بِعُمَرَ".

"On the authority of Ibn Mas'ud who said: Indeed 'Umar's embracing Islam was a might, his migration was a victory or help, and his leadership was a mercy. By Allah, we were not able to pray around the House openly until 'Umar embraced Islam. When he embraced Islam, he fought them until we prayed. Indeed I think that between the eyes of 'Umar there is an angel who keeps him steadfast, and indeed I think the Shaytan flees from him. And when the righteous are mentioned, () welcome 'Umar."
