Those who would’ve been spoken to or inspired

There had been among the people before you inspired persons (those spoken to) and if there were any such among my Ummah Umar b. Khattab would be one of them.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ قَدْ كَانَ يَكُونُ فِي الأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ مُحَدَّثُونَ فَإِنْ يَكُنْ فِي أُمَّتِي مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فَإِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ مِنْهُمْ
