حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَمْزَةَ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ ثنا أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اللهُمَّ أَعِزَّ الْإِسْلَامَ بِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ» وَقَدْ ضَرَبَ أُخْتَهُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ وَهِي تَقْرَأُ {اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ} حَتَّى أَظُنَّ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَهَا ثُمَّ قَامَ مِنَ السَّحَرِ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتَهَا تَقْرَأُ {اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ} فَقَالَ وَاللهِ مَا هَذَا بِشِعْرٍ وَلَا هَمْهَمَةٍ فَذَهَبَ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدَ بِلَالًا عَلَى الْبَابِ فَدَفَعَ الْبَابَ فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْذِنَ لَكَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عُمَرُ بِالْبَابِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنْ يُرِدِ اللهُ بِعُمَرَ خَيْرًا أَدْخَلَهُ فِي الدِّينِ» فَقَالَ لِبِلَالٍ افْتَحْ وَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِضَبْعَيْهِ فَهَزَّهُ فَقَالَ «مَا الَّذِي تُرِيدُ وَمَا الَّذِي جِئْتَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ اعْرِضْ عَلَيَّ الَّذِي تَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ قَالَ «تَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» فَأَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ مَكَانَهُ وَقَالَ «اخْرُجْ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O Allah, strengthen Islam with Umar b. al-Khattab." He had struck his sister at the beginning of the night while she was reciting: "Read in the name of your Lord who created" (Quran 96:1) until I thought he had killed her. Then he got up before dawn and heard her voice reciting: "Read in the name of your Lord who created." He said: "By Allah, this is not poetry or muttering." So he went until he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found Bilal at the door. He pushed the door. Bilal said: "Who is this?" He said: "Umar b. al-Khattab." He said: "Until I ask permission for you from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Bilal said: "O Messenger of Allah, Umar is at the door." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If Allah wills good for Umar, He will admit him into the religion." Then he said to Bilal: "Open." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took hold of his upper arms, shook him, and said: "What do you want, and what have you come for?" Umar said to him: "Present to me what you call to." He said: "You testify that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger." Umar embraced Islam on the spot, and he said: "Go out."
