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!"
