Satan himself is scared of Umar ᴿᴬ

Umar asked permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while there were women from Quraysh with him, speaking to him and asking much of him, their voices raised. When Umar asked permission, they got up and rushed toward the hijab (screen). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him permission, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was laughing. Umar said, “May Allah ﷻ make you smile, O Messenger of Allah.” He said: “I was amazed at these women who were with me; when they heard your voice, they rushed toward the hijab.”

Umar said, “You, O Messenger of Allah, were more deserving that they should be in awe of you.” Then he said, “O enemies of their own selves, do you stand in awe of me and not stand in awe of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” They said, “Yes; you are harsher and sterner than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “By Him in whose hand is my soul, Satan has never met you taking a path except that he takes a path other than yours.”

اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَعِنْدَهُ نِسَاءٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يُكَلِّمْنَهُ وَيَسْتَكْثِرْنَهُ، عَالِيَةً أَصْوَاتُهُنَّ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ قُمْنَ يَبْتَدِرْنَ الْحِجَابَ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَضْحَكُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَضْحَكَ اللَّهُ سِنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «عَجِبْتُ مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ اللاَّتِي كُنَّ عِنْدِي، فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَ صَوْتَكَ ابْتَدَرْنَ الْحِجَابَ».

قَالَ عُمَرُ: فَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُنْتَ أَحَقَّ أَنْ يَهَبْنَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَىْ عَدُوَّاتِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ، أَتَهَبْنَنِي وَلاَ تَهَبْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْنَ: نَعَمْ، أَنْتَ أَفَظُّ وَأَغْلَظُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ. قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، مَا لَقِيَكَ الشَّيْطَانُ قَطُّ سَالِكًا فَجًّا، إِلاَّ سَلَكَ فَجًّا غَيْرَ فَجِّكَ».

ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab asked the permission of Messenger of Allah ﷺ to see him while some Quraishi women were sitting with him, talking to him and asking him for more expenses, raising their voices above the voice of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When ʿUmar asked for the permission to enter, the women quickly put on their veils. Allah'sf Apostle allowed him to enter and ʿUmar came in while Messenger of Allah ﷺ was smiling, ʿUmar said "O Allah's Apostle! May Allah always keep you smiling." The Prophet ﷺ said, "These women who have been here, roused my wonder, for as soon as they heard your voice, they quickly put on their veils. "ʿUmar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! You have more right to be feared by them than I." Then ʿUmar addressed the women saying, "O enemies of yourselves! You fear me more than you do Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" They said, "Yes, for you are harsher and sterner than Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Ibn Al-Khattab! By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Never does Satan find you going on a way, but he takes another way other than yours."

اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ نِسْوَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يُكَلِّمْنَهُ وَيَسْتَكْثِرْنَهُ عَالِيَةً أَصْوَاتُهُنَّ عَلَى صَوْتِهِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قُمْنَ فَبَادَرْنَ الْحِجَابَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَضْحَكُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَضْحَكَ اللَّهُ سِنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَجِبْتُ مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ اللاَّتِي كُنَّ عِنْدِي فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَ صَوْتَكَ ابْتَدَرْنَ الْحِجَابِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يَهَبْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا عَدُوَّاتِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ أَتَهَبْنَنِي وَلاَ تَهَبْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَ نَعَمْ أَنْتَ أَفَظُّ وَأَغْلَظُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِيهًا يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا لَقِيَكَ الشَّيْطَانُ سَالِكًا فَجًّا قَطُّ إِلاَّ سَلَكَ فَجًّا غَيْرَ فَجِّكَ

ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab asked permission of Messenger of Allah ﷺ to see him while some Quraishi women were sitting with him and they were asking him to give them more financial support while raising their voices over the voice of the Prophet. When ʿUmar asked permission to enter, all of them hurried to screen themselves the Prophet ﷺ admitted ʿUmar and he entered, while the Prophet ﷺ was smiling. ʿUmar said, "May Allah always keep you smiling, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you !" The Prophet ﷺ said, "I am astonished at these women who were with me. As soon as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves." ʿUmar said, "You have more right, that they should be afraid of you, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" And then he (ʿUmar) turned towards them and said, "O enemies of your souls! You are afraid of me and not of Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The women replied, "Yes, for you are sterner and harsher than Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Ibn Al-Khattab! By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees you taking a way, he follows a way other than yours!"

اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ نِسْوَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَسْأَلْنَهُ وَيَسْتَكْثِرْنَهُ عَالِيَةً أَصْوَاتُهُنَّ عَلَى صَوْتِهِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ تَبَادَرْنَ الْحِجَابَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَدَخَلَ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَضْحَكُ فَقَالَ أَضْحَكَ اللَّهُ سِنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي فَقَالَ عَجِبْتُ مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ اللاَّتِي كُنَّ عِنْدِي لَمَّا سَمِعْنَ صَوْتَكَ تَبَادَرْنَ الْحِجَابَ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يَهَبْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَقَالَ يَا عَدُوَّاتِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ أَتَهَبْنَنِي وَلَمْ تَهَبْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَ إِنَّكَ أَفَظُّ وَأَغْلَظُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِيهٍ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا لَقِيَكَ الشَّيْطَانُ سَالِكًا فَجًّا إِلاَّ سَلَكَ فَجًّا غَيْرَ فَجِّكَ

Messenger of Allah, may Allah keep you happy all your life. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I wonder at these women who were with me and no sooner did they hear your voice, they immediately went behind the curtain. Thereupon 'Umar said: Messenger of Allah, you have more right that they should fear you. Then Umar (addressing the women) said: O ye enemies of yourselves, do you fear me and fear not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? They said: Yes, you are harsh and strict as compared to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Thereupon, Messenger of Allah (maypeace be upon him) said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if satan would encounter you in the way he would certainly take a different way from that of yours.

اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ نِسَاءٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يُكَلِّمْنَهُ وَيَسْتَكْثِرْنَهُ عَالِيَةٌ أَصْوَاتُهُنَّ فَلَمَّا اسْتَأْذَنَ قُمْنَ يَبْتَدِرْنَ الْحِجَابَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي فَدَخَلَ وَرَسُولُاللهِ ﷺ يَضْحَكُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَضْحَكَ اللهُ سِنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَجِبْتُ مِنْ هَؤُلاءِ اللاتِي كُنَّ عِنْدِي فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَ صَوْتَكَ ابْتَدَرْنَ الْحِجَابَ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُنْتَ أَحَقَّ أَنْ يَهَبْنَ ثُمَّ قَالَ عُمَرُ أَيْ عَدُوَّاتِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ أَتَهَبْنَنِي وَلا تَهَبْنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْنَ نَعَمْ أَنْتَ أَغْلَظُ وَأَفَظُّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا لَقِيَكَ الشَّيْطَانُ قَطُّ سَالِكًا فَجًّا إِلا سَلَكَ فَجًّا غَيْرَ فَجِّكَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ أَبِي وقَالَ يَعْقُوبُ مَا أُحْصِي مَا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ

[AI] Umar ibn Al-Khattab entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was with some women from the Quraysh who were asking him questions and speaking loudly. When they heard Umar's voice, they immediately became quiet. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and said to Umar, "O enemies of yourselves! They obey me and not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" They replied, "Indeed, you are more strict and severe than the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "O Umar, whenever the Shaytan sees you taking a path, he takes a different path except for your path."

دَخَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ نِسْوَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَسْأَلْنَهُ وَيَسْتَكْثِرْنَ رَافِعَاتٍ أَصْوَاتَهُنَّ فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَ صَوْتَ عُمَرَ انْقَمَعْنَ وَسَكَتْنَ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا عَدُوَّاتِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ تَهَبْنَنِي وَلا تَهَبْنَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقُلْنَ إِنَّكَ أَفَظُّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَغْلَظُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا عُمَرُ مَا لَقِيَكَ الشَّيْطَانُ سَالِكًا فَجًّا إِلا سَلَكَ فَجًّا غَيْرَ فَجِّكَ

[AI] Umar sought permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who had his wives with him, and their voices were louder than his. So he granted him permission, and they went away. Umar entered, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was laughing. Umar said, "May Allah make you laugh, O Messenger of Allah, my father and mother be sacrificed for you." He said, "I marveled at the wives' competition to be with me. So when they heard your voice, they hastened and went away." He turned towards them and said, "What audacious souls they have! By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, they were more entitled to outdo me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave them, O Umar, for by Allah, if Satan meets you in a path, he would take a different path other than yours." This is the last part of the hadith of Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, as narrated by Sa'id bin Zaid bin Amr bin Nufayl.

اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ جَوَارٍ قَدْ عَلَتِ أصْوَاتُهُنَّ عَلَى صَوْتِهِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَبَادَرْنَ فَذَهَبْنَ فَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَضْحَكُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَضْحَكَ اللهُ سِنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي قَالَ قَدْ عَجِبْتُ لِجَوَارٍ كُنَّ عِنْدِي فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَ حِسَّكَ بَادَرْنَ فَذَهَبْنَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَقَالَ أَيْ عَدُوَّاتِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ وَاللهِ لَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُنْتُنَّ أَحَقَّ أَنْ تَهَبْنَ مِنِّي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَعْهُنَّ عَنْكَ يَا عُمَرُ فَوَاللهِ إِنْ لَقِيَكَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِفَجٍّ قَطُّ إِلا أَخَذَ فَجًّا غَيْرَ فَجِّكَ آخِرُ حَدِيثِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ

Once ʿUmar asked the leave to see Messenger of Allah ﷺ in whose company there were some Quraishi women who were talking to him and asking him for more financial support raising their voices. When ʿUmar asked permission to enter the women got up (quickly) hurrying to screen themselves. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ admitted ʿUmar, Messenger of Allah ﷺ was smiling, ʿUmar asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! May Allah keep you in happiness always." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am astonished at these women who were with me. As soon as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves." ʿUmar said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have more right to be feared by them." Then he addressed (those women) saying, "O enemies of your own souls! Do you fear me and not Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" They replied. "Yes, for you are a fearful and fierce man as compared with Messenger of Allah ﷺ." On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (to ʿUmar), "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees you taking a path, he follows a path other than yours." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3294)

"عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِى وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ: اسْتأذَنَ عُمرُ عَلَى النَّبِىِّ ﷺ وَعِنْدَهُ نِسْوَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَسْأَلْنَهُ وَيَسْتَكْثِرْنَهُ عَاليَة أصْوَاتُهُنَّ عَلَى صَوْتِهِ، فَلَمَّا أذِنَ لَهُ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ تَبَادَرْنَ الحِجَابَ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَضْحَكُ، فَقاَلَ: بِأَبِى أنْتَ وَأُمِّى يَا رَسُولَ الله أَضْحَكَ اللهُ سِنَّكَ مَا يُضْحِكُك؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَجِبْتُ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ اللَّاتِى كُنَّ
