[Machine] "Their bodies were attacked by the bites."  

أَنَّ أَجْسَادَهُمْ كَانَتْ قُرِضَتْ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ»  

[Machine] Indeed, the disbeliever will be restrained with his sweat on the Day of Resurrection from the length of that day until he says, "My Lord, send me back so that I may do righteousness in that which I left behind."  

إِنَّ الْكَافِرَ لَيُلْجَمُ بِعَرَقِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ طُولِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ حَتَّى يَقُولَ رَبِّ أَرِحْنِي وَلَوْ إِلَى النَّارِ  

[Machine] "If one wants to ask [anything], then let him begin with praise and commendation of Allah, with what He deserves. Then let him send blessings upon the prophet ﷺ , and then let him ask [his request] afterwards, for it is more likely for him to succeed."  

أَنْ يَسْأَلَ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالْمِدْحَةِ وَالثَّنَاءِ عَلَى اللهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ لْيُصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ لِيَسْأَلْ بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يَنْجَحَ»  

[Machine] If a person rides a beast and does not mention Allah, Satan will influence him and say to him "sing", and if he does not accept, he will say to him "wish".  

إِذَا رَكِبَ الرَّجُلُ الدَّابَّةَ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللهَ رَدَفَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ لَهُ تَغَنَّ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُحْسِنْ قَالَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ  

[Machine] Verily, the believer's devil encounters the disbeliever's devil and sees the believer's devil pale, grey, and weak. The disbeliever's devil says, "What is wrong with you? Woe to you, you are ruined!" The believer's devil says, "No, By Allah, I do not get along with him at all. Whenever he eats, he mentions the name of Allah, and whenever he drinks, he mentions the name of Allah, and whenever he enters his home, he mentions the name of Allah." The other devil says, "But I eat from his food, drink from his drink, and sleep on his bed. So, he has a spacious place, while I am neglected."  

إِنَّ شَّيْطَانَ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَلْقَى شَيْطَانَ الْكَافِرِ فَيَرَى شَيْطَانَ الْمُؤْمِنِ شَاحِبًا أَغْبَرَ مَهْزُولًا فَيَقُولُ شَيْطَانُ الْكَافِرِ مَا لَكَ؟ وَيْحَكَ قَدْ هَلَكْتَ فَيَقُولُ شَيْطَانُ الْمُؤْمِنِ لَا وَاللهِ مَا أَصِلُ مَعَهُ إِلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا طَعِمَ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللهِ وَإِذَا شَرِبَ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللهِ وَإِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ اللهِ فَيَقُولُ الْآخَرُ لَكِنِّي آكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ وَأَشْرَبُ مِنْ شَرَابِهِ وَأَنَامُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَهَذَا سَاحٌّ وَهَذَا مَهْزُولٌ  

[Machine] Abdullah commits major shirk (associating partners with Allah), despairing of the mercy of Allah, and loses hope in the mercy of Allah. He also feels secure from the deception of Allah.  

عَبْدُ اللهِ الْكَبَائِرُ الشِّرْكُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَأْسُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللهِ وَالْقَنُوطُ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ وَالْأَمْنُ مِنْ مَكْرِ اللهِ  

[Machine] He said, "The greatest of all sins is associating partners with Allah, and feeling secure from the deception of Allah, and despairing of the mercy of Allah, and losing hope in the mercy of Allah."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَكْبَرُ الْكَبَائِرِ الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ وَالْأَمْنُ مِنْ مَكْرِ اللهِ وَالْقَنُوطُ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ وَالْيَأْسُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللهِ  

[Machine] The greatest of sins is associating partners with Allah, despairing of the mercy of Allah, and being complacent with the tricks of Allah.  

أَكْبَرُ الْكَبَائِرِ الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَأْسُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللهِ وَالْقَنُوطُ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ وَالْأَمْنُ لِمَكْرِ اللهِ  

[Machine] Go to your mother and say to her, "Please dress me in a different shirt than this one."  

«اذْهَبْ إِلَى أُمِّكَ فَقُلْ لَهَا فَلْتُلْبِسْكَ قَمِيصًا غَيْرَ هَذَا»  

[Machine] We were with Abdullah when his son came to him wearing a silk shirt. Abdullah asked, "Who dressed you in this?" The son replied, "My mother." Abdullah then tore it and said, "Tell your mother to dress you in something other than this."  

كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَجَاءَ ابْنٌ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ حَرِيرٌ فَقَالَ «مَنْ كَسَاكَ هَذَا؟» قَالَ أُمِّي قَالَ فَشَقَّهُ قَالَ «قُلْ لِأُمِّكَ تَكْسُوكَ غَيْرَ هَذَا»  

[Machine] "He said, 'A man will not taste the flavor of faith until he believes in fate and knows that he will die and be resurrected.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَنْ يَجِدَ رَجُلٌ طَعْمَ الْإِيمَانِ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ وَيَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ مَيِّتٌ وَأَنَّهُ مَبْعُوثٌ»  

[Machine] "That he is dead, then resurrected after death."  

أَنَّهُ مَيِّتٌ ثُمَّ مَبْعُوثٌ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ»  

[Machine] Three things that, if found in someone, they will find the sweetness of faith: leaving argumentation in truth, avoiding lying in jest, and knowing that whatever befalls them was not meant to miss them, and whatever missed them was not meant to befall them.  

ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ يَجِدُ لَهُنَّ حَلَاوَةَ الْإِيمَانِ تَرْكُ الْمِرَاءِ فِي الْحَقِّ وَالْكَذِبَ فِي الْمُزَاحَةِ وَيَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَا أَصَابَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُخْطِئَهُ وَأَنَّ مَا أَخْطَأَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُصِيبَهُ  

[Machine] Ibn Mas'ood, so did they say, "Are we the people of paradise?"  

ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَهَلْ قَالُوا نَحْنُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ؟  

[Machine] A man came to Abdullah and said, "I am a believer." Abdullah replied, "Say, 'I am indeed in Paradise, but we have believed in Allah and His angels and His messengers.'"  

رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ إِنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «قُلْ إِنِّي فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَكِنَّا آمَنَّا بِاللهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ»  

[Machine] "I ask Allah to sever ties with someone who has cut off their kinship from us, for we desire to call upon our Lord, and the gates of heaven are opened for those who maintain their ties of kinship."  

«أَنْشُدُ اللهَ قَاطَعَ رَحِمٍ لَمَا قَامَ عَنَّا فَإِنَّا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَدْعُوَ رَبَّنَا وَأَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ مُرْتَجَةٌ دُونَ قَاطَعِ رَحِمٍ»  

[Machine] The man from the Children of Israel, when he sinned, he would wake up to find a written message at his door, stating, "You have sinned in such and such a way, and the atonement for your sin is such and such an action, so that he may increase in knowledge." Ibn Mas'ud said, "I do not like that Allah has given us this instead of this verse: 'Whoever does evil or wrongs himself, then seeks forgiveness from Allah, will find Allah Forgiving, Merciful.'"  

«كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ أَصْبَحَ عَلَى بَابِهِ مَكْتُوبٌ أَذْنَبْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَكَفَّارَتُهُ كَذَا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَتَكَاثَرَ أَنْ يَعْلَمَهُ» قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ أَعْطَانَا ذَلِكَ مَكَانَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ يَجِدِ اللهَ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا}  

[Machine] A man passed by another man who was prostrating, and he stepped on his neck. He said, "Do you step on my neck while I am prostrating? By Allah, Allah will never forgive you." Allah said, "Are you trying to arrogate yourself over me? Indeed, I have forgiven him."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَوَطِئَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ فَقَالَ أَتَطَأُ عَلَى رَقَبَتِي وَأَنَا سَاجِدٌ؟ وَاللهِ لَا يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَكَ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ اللهُ أَتَتَأَلَّى عَلَيَّ أَمَا إِنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ  

[Machine] "To be thrown face-down by God into the fire of Hell."  

أَنْ يَكُبَّهُ اللهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ»  

[Machine] He said, "We asked for permission from Abdullah after the morning prayer, so he granted us permission and handed us a piece of cloth and said, 'I dislike keeping you detained.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ اسْتَأْذَنَّا عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَأَذِنَ لَنَا وَأَلْقَى عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ قَطِيفَةً وَقَالَ «إِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَحْبِسَكُمْ»  

[Machine] Two men whom Allah looks upon with laughter: a man with a horse among the best of his companions' horses. He met the enemy, and they were defeated, but the other one remained steadfast. If he is killed, he will be a martyr. That is who Allah looks upon with laughter. And a man who gets up in the night, and no one knows about it. He performs ablution and prays to Muhammad and praises Allah, then he starts reciting the Quran. Allah looks upon him with laughter, saying, "Look at My servant, no one sees him except Me."  

رَجُلَانِ يَضْحَكُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِمَا رَجُلٌ تَحْتَهُ فَرَسٌ مِنْ أَمْثَلِ خَيْلِ أَصْحَابِهِ فَلَقِيَهُمِ الْعَدُوُّ فَانْهَزَمُوا وَثَبَتَ الْآخَرُ إِنْ قُتِلَ قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا فَذَلِكَ يَضْحَكُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ وَرَجُلٌ قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ لَا يَعْلَمُ بِهِ أَحَدٌ فَأَسْبَغَ الْوُضُوءَ وَصَلَّى عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَاسْتَفْتَحَ الْقِرَاءَةَ فَيَضْحَكُ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ يَقُولُ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي لَا يَرَاهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي  

[Machine] "Three [oaths] I swear by them, and the fourth, if I were to swear by it, I would be truthful. Allah does not make one who has no share in Islam like one who has a share, and Allah does not favor a servant in this world, but He will favor him over others on the Day of Resurrection. And a man does not love a people except if he joins them. And the fourth, if I were to swear by it, I would be truthful. Allah does not conceal a servant in this world, except that Allah will conceal him in the Hereafter."  

ثَلَاثٌ أَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَالرَّابِعَةُ لَوْ حَلَفْتُ عَلَيْهَا لَبَرَرْتُ لَا يَجْعَلُ اللهُ مِنْ لَهُ سَهْمٍ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَنْ لَا سَهْمَ لَهُ وَلَا يَتَوَلَّى اللهَ عَبْدٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَوَلَّاهُ غَيْرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا يُحِبُّ رَجُلٌ قَوْمًا إِلَّا جَاءَ مَعَهُمْ وَالرَّابِعَةُ الَّتِي لَوْ حَلَفْتُ عَلَيْهَا لَبَرَرْتُ لَا يَسْتُرُ اللهُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا سَتَرَهُ اللهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ  

[Machine] Abdullah is bound by three oaths and the fourth, if I were to swear by it, I hope not to sin and I confirm that Allah does not make him a target in peace like one who has no target and Allah does not enthrone a Muslim slave without someone other than him on the Day of Resurrection. A man does not love a people unless Allah sends him with them, and the pillars of Islam are three: prayer, charity, and fasting, and the fourth, if I were to swear by it, I hope not to sin, Allah does not expose a servant in this world except that Allah will cover him in the Hereafter.  

عَبْدُ اللهِ ثَلَاثٌ أَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَالرَّابِعَةُ لَوْ حَلَفْتُ عَلَيْهَا رَجَوْتُ أَنْ لَا آثَمَ وَلَبَرَرْتُ أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ اللهُ ذَا سَهْمٍ فِي السَّلَامِ كَمَنْ لَا سَهْمَ لَهُ وَلَا يَتَوَلَّى اللهَ عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ فَيُوَلِّيَهُ سِوَاهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا يُحِبُّ رَجُلٌ قَوْمًا إِلَّا بَعَثَهُ اللهُ مَعَهُمْ وَأَسْهُمُ الْإِسْلَامِ ثَلَاثَةٌ الصَّلَاةُ وَالزَّكَاةُ وَالصِّيَامُ وَالرَّابِعَةُ لَوْ حَلَفْتُ عَلَيْهَا لَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ لَا آثَمَ لَا يَسْتُرُ اللهُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا سَتَرَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ  

[Machine] I went with a man to Abdullah's house, and there he was standing, praying, surrounded by two men. When he finished, they asked him about a verse, and he said to one of them, "Who taught you?" He said, "Umar." He said to the other, "Who taught you?" He said, "Abu Hakim or Abu Amrah." He said, "Read as Umar taught you." Then he cried until his tears wet the pebbles, and he said, "Umar used to be a strong fortress for Islam, people would enter Islam and not leave. But when Umar was hit, the fortress was weakened."  

ذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي وَقَدِ اكْتَنَفَهُ رَجُلَانِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ سَأَلَاهُ عَنْ آيَةٍ فَقَالَ لِأَحَدِهِمَا «مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَ؟» قَالَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ لِلْآخَرِ «مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَ؟» قَالَ أَبُو حَكِيمٍ قَالَ أَوْ أَبُو عَمْرَةَ فَقَالَ «اقْرَأْ كَمَا أَقْرَأَكَ عُمَرُ» ثُمَّ بَكَى حَتَّى بَلَّ الْحَصَا دُمُوعُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ كَانَ لِلْإِسْلَامِ حِصْنًا حَصِينًا يَدْخُلُونَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَا يَخْرُجُونَ فَلَمَّا أُصِيبَ عُمَرُ انْثَلَمَ الْحِصْنُ»  

[Machine] And the other one said, 'Let 'Umar recite it to me.' So when 'Umar's name was mentioned, 'Abdullah began to weep while he was standing and wiped his eyes and then said, 'It is as if I was looking at the Prophet ﷺ while he was by the side of a meadow and he was saying, "Let my accomplished son read the Quran." And 'Umar was the most pious and knowledgeable of all the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he knew best the Book of Allah.'  

وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ أَقْرَأَنِيهَا عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا ذُكِرَ عُمَرُ بَكَى عَبْدُ اللهِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ وَمَسَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَنَفَضَ يَدَهُ فِي الْحَصَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَهِيَ أَبْيَنُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ السِّيلِحِينَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «اقْرَأْهَا كَمَا أَقْرَأَكَهَا عُمَرُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْهُمْ حُزْنٌ عَلَى عُمَرَ يَوْمَ أُصِيبَ لَأَهْلُ سُوءٍ عُمَرُ كَانَ أَتْقَانَا وَأَقْرَأَنَا لِكِتَابِ اللهِ»  

[Machine] Two men were disputing about a verse, and as we were thus, Abdullah entered from the direction of his two sisters. So they both stood up to him, and I stood up with them, and they said, "We have been disputing about a verse." So Abdullah said to one of them, "Read it." So he recited it, and Abdullah said, "Who taught you this?" He replied, "Amr bin Ma'qil." Then Abdullah said to the other, "Read it." So he recited it, and Abdullah said, "Who taught you this?" He replied, "Umar." Then his eyes welled up with tears until I saw the trace of his tears on his cheeks, and he wiped away the tears with his hand, saying, "Like this." Then I saw two marks on the pebbles from Abdullah's tears. Then Abdullah said, "I do not think there is a household among the Muslims that was not visited by sorrow on the day Umar was killed, except for an evil household. Indeed, Umar was the most knowledgeable among us about Allah, and the most proficient among us in the recitation of the Book of Allah, and the most knowledgeable among us in the religion of Allah. And recite it as I recited it, for by Allah, it is more illuminated than the path of the travelers."  

تَنَازَعَ رَجُلَانِ فِي آيَةٍ فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَخْتَانِهِ فَقَامَا إِلَيْهِ وَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ مَعَهُمَا فَقَالَا إِنَّا تَنَازَعْنَا فِي آيَةٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ لِأَحَدِهِمَا «اقْرَأْ» فَقَرَأَ فَقَالَ «مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَهَا؟» فَقَالَ أَبُو عَمْرَةَ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ مُقَرِّنٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْآخَرِ «اقْرَأْهُ» فَقَرَأَ فَقَالَ «مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَهَا؟» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَجَاءَتَا عَيْنَاهُ بِأَرْبَعَةٍ فَبَكَى حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهُ أَخَذَ مِنْ دُمُوعِهِ بِكَفِّهِ فَقَالَ بِهِ هَكَذَا فَرَأَيْتُ أَثَرَيْنِ فِي الْحَصَا مِنْ دُمُوعِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «مَا أَظَنُّ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ عَلَيْهِمْ حُزْنُ عُمَرَ يَوْمَ أُصِيبَ إِلَّا بَيْتُ سُوءٍ إِنَّ عُمَرَ كَانَ أَعْلَمَنَا بِاللهِ وَأَقْرَأَنَا لِكِتَابِ اللهِ وَأَفْقَهَنَا لِدِينِ اللهِ وَاقْرَأْهَا كَمَا أَقْرَأَكَهَا عُمَرُ فَوَاللهِ لَهِيَ أَبْيَنُ مِنْ طَرِيقِ السِّيلِحِينَ»  

[Machine] Abdullah was approached by two men while we were with him. They said, "O Abu Abdullah, how should we recite this verse?" So Abdullah recited it to them. The man said, "Abu Hakim recites it to me like this and like that." Then the other man recited it, and Abdullah said, "Who taught you to recite it?" He said, "Umar." Abdullah said, "Recite it as Umar recited it to you." Then Abdullah wept until I saw his tears flowing on the rocks. Then he said, "Umar was a strong fortress for Islam; people would enter it and not come out. But the fortress has been gradually demolished, so people are coming out of it and not entering."  

أَتَى عَبْدَ اللهِ رَجُلَانِ وَكُنَّا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كَيْفَ نَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ؟ فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَإِنَّ أَبَا حَكِيمٍ أَقْرَأَنِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ وَقَرَأَ الْآخَرُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَهَا؟» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ «اقْرَأْ كَمَا أَقْرَأَكَ عُمَرُ» ثُمَّ بَكَى عَبْدُ اللهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ دُمُوعَهُ تَحَدَّرُ فِي الْحَصَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ عُمَرَ كَانَ حِصْنًا حَصِينًا عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ يَدْخُلُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ وَلَا يَخْرُجُونَ وَإِنَّ الْحِصْنَ أَصْبَحَ قَدِ انْثَلَمَ فَالنَّاسُ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهُ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ»  

[Machine] Abu Hakim Al-Muzani recited to me and then he recited to another person. He asked, "Who recited to you?" The man replied, "Umar ibn Al-Khattab recited to me." Abdullah cried until his tears turned his cheeks red. Then he said, "Recite as Umar recited to you." He then turned a handful of pebbles in his hand and said, "Indeed, Umar was a fortress, a stronghold for Islam. People would enter it but never leave. But when Umar died, the fortress collapsed and people started leaving it without entering."  

أَقْرَأَنِي أَبُو حَكِيمٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ وَاسْتَقْرَأَ الْآخَرَ فَقَالَ «مَنْ أَقْرَأَكَ؟» فَقَالَ أَقْرَأَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَبَكَى عَبْدُ اللهِ حَتَّى خَضَّبَتْ دُمُوعُهُ الْحَصَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «اقْرَأْ كَمَا أَقْرَأَكَ عُمَرُ» ثُمَّ دَوَّرَ دَارَةً بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ عُمَرَ كَانَ حِصْنًا حَصِينًا لِلْإِسْلَامِ يَدْخُلُ النَّاسُ مِنْهُ وَلَا يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ عُمَرُ انْثَلَمَ الْحِصْنُ فَالنَّاسُ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهُ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ»  

[Machine] "Abdullah said, 'Indeed, the Islam of Umar was a victory, and his migration was a triumph, and his leadership was a mercy. By Allah, we were not able to openly pray in front of the Kaaba until Umar embraced Islam.'"  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنَّ إِسْلَامَ عُمَرَ كَانَ فَتْحًا وَإِنَّ هِجْرَتَهُ كَانَتْ نَصْرًا وَإِنَّ إِمَارَتَهُ كَانَتْ رَحْمَةً وَاللهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ عِنْدَ الْكَعْبَةِ ظَاهِرِينَ حَتَّى أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ»  

[Machine] Narrated Qatadah and Hammad, they said: "We heard them saying, 'We heard them saying that Ibn Mas'ud used to say: "Verily, Umar ibn al-Khattab was a strong fortress for Islam; he would enter into Islam and would never leave it. But when Umar died, a part of the fortress was demolished, and he would come out of it and would not enter into it again. And whenever he would take a pathway, we would find it easy. And when the righteous were mentioned, he would warmly greet Umar, and he was the distinction between increase and decrease. By Allah, I wish that I could serve someone like him until I die."  

عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَحَمَّادٍ قَالَا سَمِعْتَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ سَمِعَهُمَا يَقُولَانِ كَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ حِصْنًا حَصِينًا لِلْإِسْلَامِ يُدْخَلُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَا يُخْرَجُ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ عُمَرُ انْثَلَمَ مِنَ الْحِصْنِ ثُلْمَةُ فَهُوَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ وَلَا يَدْخُلُ فِيهِ وَكَانَ إِذَا سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا وَجَدْنَاهُ سَهْلًا فَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الصَّالِحُونَ فَحَيَّ هَلَا بِعُمَرَ كَانَ فَصْلَ مَا بَيْنَ الزِّيَادَةِ وَالنُّقْصَانِ وَاللهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أَخْدُمُ مِثْلَهُ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ»  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "By Allah, I believe that the knowledge of Umar, if it were to be placed in one scale of the balance and the knowledge of all the living people of the earth were to be placed in the other scale, the knowledge of Umar would outweigh them." Sulaiman said, "So I mentioned it to him (Umar), and he said, 'I believe that the knowledge of Umar has taken away nine-tenths of the knowledge.'"  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ عِلْمَ عُمَرَ لَوْ وُضِعَ فِي كِفَّةِ الْمِيزَانِ وَوُضِعَ سَائِرُ أَحْيَاءِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فِي كِفَّةِ الْمِيزَانِ لَرَجَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَلْمُ عُمَرَ ؓ » قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فَذَكَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّ عُمَرَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ بِتِسْعَةِ أَعْشَارِ الْعِلْمِ»  

[Machine] "That the knowledge of Umar was placed in one scale of the balance, and the knowledge of the people of the earth was placed in the other scale, his knowledge outweighed theirs." Waki' said: "I denied that, so I went to Ibrahim and mentioned it to him. He said: 'And what you denied of that, by Allah, Abdullah said something better than that.' He said: 'Indeed, I believe that nine-tenths of the knowledge vanished on the day Umar passed away.'"  

أَنَّ عِلْمَ عُمَرَ وُضِعَ فِي كِفَّةِ مِيزَانٍ وَوُضِعَ عَلْمُ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فِي كِفَّةٍ لَرَجَحَ عِلْمُهُ بِعِلْمِهِمْ» قَالَ وَكِيعُ قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ فَأَنْكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَتَيْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لَهُ فَقَالَ وَمَا أَنْكَرْتَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَوَاللهِ لَقَدْ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ تِسْعَةَ أَعْشَارِ الْعِلْمِ ذَهَبَ يَوْمَ ذَهَبَ عُمَرُ ؓ »  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "Indeed, I believe that on the day he died, nine-tenths of knowledge was taken away with him. And I believe that if the knowledge of Omar was placed in one scale of the balance and the knowledge of those who came after him in the other scale, the knowledge of Omar would outweigh theirs."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ عُمَرَ قَدْ رُفِعَ مَعَهُ يَوْمَ مَاتَ تِسْعَةُ أَعْشَارِ الْعِلْمِ وَإِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ عَلْمَ عُمَرَ لَوْ وُضِعَ فِي كِفَّةِ الْمِيزَانِ وَعَلْمُ مَنْ بَعْدَهُ لَرَجَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَلْمُ عُمَرَ ؓ »  

[Machine] "O Abu Abdur Rahman, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has passed away, so where is he?" He said, "He is in Paradise." He said, "Abu Bakr has passed away, so where is he?" He said, "That is the one who moans (laments) at every good deed." He said, "Umar has passed away, so where is he?" He said, "When the righteous are mentioned, he says: 'Welcome, O Umar!'"  

يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ «فِي الْجَنَّةِ هُوَ» قَالَ تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ «ذَاكَ الْأَوَّاهُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ يُبْغَى» قَالَ تُوُفِّيَ عُمَرُ فَأَيْنَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ فَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الصَّالِحُونَ فَحَيَّ هَلَا بِعُمَرَ  

[Machine] "Abdullah said, 'When the righteous are mentioned, say, 'Greetings to Umar.'"  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِذَا ذُكِرَ الصَّالِحُونَ فَحَيَّ هَلَا بِعُمَرَ»  

[Machine] "When the righteous are mentioned, say: 'Welcome, O Umar! Indeed, his Islam was a victory, and his leadership was a conquest. By the faith of Allah, I do not know of anything on earth except that Umar found it. By the faith of Allah, I think that between his two eyes there is an angel guiding him. By the faith of Allah, I think that Shaytan is afraid that Umar will introduce something new into Islam and Umar will refute him.' By the faith of Allah, if I knew of a dog that loved Umar, I would love it."  

«إِذَا ذُكِرَ الصَّالِحُونَ فَحَيَّ هَلَا بِعُمَرَ إِنَّ إِسْلَامَهُ كَانَ نَصْرًا وَإِنَّ إِمَارَتَهُ كَانَتْ فَتْحًا وَايْمُ اللهِ مَا أَعْلَمُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا وَقَدْ وَجَدَ فَقْدَ عُمَرَ حَتَّى الْعِضَاهَ وَايْمُ اللهِ إِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ مَلَكًا يُسَدِّدُهُ وَيُرْشِدُهُ وَايْمُ اللهِ إِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ الشَّيْطَانَ يَفْرَقُ مِنْهُ أَنْ يُحْدِثَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ حَدَثًا فَيَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ عُمَرُ وَايْمُ اللهِ لَوْ أَعْلَمُ كَلْبًا يُحِبُّ عُمَرَ لَأَحْبَبْتُهُ»  

[Machine] I loved Umar so much that I feared Allah, and if I knew that a dog loved Umar, I would have loved it too. And if I could, I would have been a servant to Umar. Truly, everything found loss in his absence, even the flies. Indeed, his migration was a victory, and his reign was a mercy.  

«لَقَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ عُمَرَ حَتَّى لَقَدْ خِفْتُ اللهَ وَلَوْ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ كَلْبًا يُحِبُّ عُمَرَ لَأَحْبَبْتُهُ وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ خَادِمًا لِعُمَرَ ؓ وَلَقَدْ وَجَدَ فَقْدَهُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى الْعِضَاهَ وَإِنَّ هِجْرَتَهُ كَانَتْ نَصْرًا وَإِنَّ سُلْطَانَهُ كَانَ رَحْمَةً»  

[Machine] "That Omar loved a dog that was dearer to me than any other dog."  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ أَحَبَّ كَلْبًا كَانَ أَحَبَّ الْكِلَابِ إِلَيَّ»  

[Machine] "Abdullah said, 'I have feared Allah in my love for Umar.'"  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ اللهَ فِي حِبِّي عُمَرَ ؓ »  

[Machine] Abdullah, when the righteous are mentioned, he says, "Welcome to Umar."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِذَا ذُكِرَ الصَّالِحُونَ فَحَيَّ هَلَا بِعُمَرَ»  

[Machine] Abdullah used to say, "When the righteous are mentioned, may they be greeted with 'hail O Umar!' I wish I were a servant of someone like Umar until I die."  

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَقُولُ «إِذَا ذُكِرَ الصَّالِحُونَ فَحَيَّ هَلَا بِعُمَرَ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي خَادِمٌ لِمِثْلِ عُمَرَ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ»  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "When the righteous are mentioned, 'Hala' (a warm welcome) to Umar."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِذَا ذُكِرَ الصَّالِحُونَ فَحَيَّ هَلَا بِعُمَرَ»  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "If the Islam of Umar was a conquest and his leadership was a mercy, then by Allah, we were not able to pray in the house until Umar became Muslim. So when Umar converted to Islam, he welcomed them and allowed us to pray."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنْ كَانَ إِسْلَامُ عُمَرَ لَفَتْحًا وَإِمَارَتُهُ لَرَحَمَةً وَاللهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ قَابَلَهُمْ حَتَّى دَعَوْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا»  

[Machine] "We have remained honored since Omar embraced Islam."  

«مَا زِلْنَا أَعِزَّةً مُنْذُ أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ ؓ »  

[Machine] I heard Ibn Mas'ud saying, "We have always been honorable since Umar embraced Islam."  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ «مَا زِلْنَا أَعِزَّةً مُنْذُ أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ ؓ »  

[Machine] "We have remained dignified since Umar embraced Islam."  

«مَا زِلْنَا أَعِزَّةً مُنْذُ أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ ؓ »  

[Machine] Abdullah met a man from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ , and they engaged in a wrestling match. The Muslim overpowered him and pinned him down. The man tried to free himself by poking Abdullah with his thumb, and he said, "Let me teach you a verse that no one among us hears without benefiting from it." So he sent him, but the man refused to be taught. When he returned and wrestled with Abdullah again, the Muslim pinned him down once more. The man tried again to free himself by poking Abdullah with his thumb, and he said, "Tell me the verse." Again, he refused to be taught. When he came back for the third time, he recited the verse that is found in Surah Al-Baqarah, "Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence, and so on." When Abdullah finished reciting, it was said to him, "O Abu Abdur-Rahman, who is that man?" He said, "Who else could it be except Umar ibn Al-Khattab?"  

عَبْدُ اللهِ لَقِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَصَارَعَهُ فَتَعَرَهُ الْمُسْلِمُ وَأَرَمَّ بِإِبْهَامِهِ فَقَالَ دَعْنِي أُعَلِّمْكَ آيَةً لَا يَسْمَعُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنَّا إِلَّا وَلَّى فَأَرْسَلَهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يُعَلِّمَهُ فَعَادَ فَصَارَعَهُ فَتَعَرَهُ الْمُسْلِمُ وَأَرَمَّ بِإِبْهَامِهِ قَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي بِهَا فَأَبَى أَنْ يُعَلِّمَهُ فَلَمَّا عَادَ الثَّالِثَةَ قَالَ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ {اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} إِلَى آخِرِهَا فَقِيلَ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ؟ فَقَالَ «مَنْ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ إِلَّا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ »  

[Machine] Abdullah said, "Indeed, I think that the devil flees from the remembrance of Umar."  

عَبْدُ اللهِ «إِنِّي لَأَحْسِبُ الشَّيْطَانَ يَفِرُّ مِنْ حِسِّ عُمَرَ»  

[Machine] Abdullah ibn Mas'ud met a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , who was struggling with a jinn. The man was able to overpower the jinn, and the jinn asked the man to let him go. The man agreed on the condition that the jinn teach him something beneficial if he overpowered him for a third time. The man overpowered the jinn again, and the jinn said, "I see you as weak and thin, like the offspring of a dog. That is how you and the jinn are." The man replied, "No, by Allah, I am not one of them. Rather, let me overpower you for the third time, and if I do, you must teach me something beneficial." The man overpowered the jinn again, and then he asked the jinn to teach him. The man asked, "Can you recite the Ayat al-Kursi?" The jinn replied, "Yes." The man said, "You will not recite it inside a house, but the Shaytan will leave the house with a noise like that of a donkey. It will not enter the house until morning." A man from the people asked, "O Abu Abdullah! Who is that man from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ ?" Abdullah ibn Mas'ud frowned and approached him, saying, "Who could it be but Umar?"  

عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ لَقِيَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَصَارَعَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ الْإِنْسِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْجِنِّيُّ عَاوِدْنِي فَعَاوَدَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْإِنْسِيُّ إِنِّي لَأَرَاكَ ضَئِيلًا شَحِيبًا كَأَنَّ ذُرَيِّعَتَيْكَ ذُرَيِّعَتَا كَلْبٍ فَكَذَلِكَ أَنْتُمْ مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ أَوْ أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ إِنِّي مِنْهُمْ لَضَلِيعٌ وَلَكِنْ عَاوِدْنِي الثَّالِثَةَ فَإِنْ صَرَعْتَنِي عَلَّمْتُكَ شَيْئًا يَنْفَعُكَ فَعَاوَدَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ قَالَ هَاتِ عَلِّمْنِي قَالَ هَلْ تَقْرَأُ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَقْرَأَهَا فِي بَيْتٍ إِلَّا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ خَبَجٌ كَخَبَجِ الْحِمَارِ لَا يَدْخُلُهُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مَنْ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ؟ قَالَ فَعَبَسَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ مَنْ يَكُونُ هُوَ إِلَّا عُمَرُ ؓ   

[Machine] "That serenity speaks on the tongue of Omar."  

أَنَّ السَّكِينَةَ تَنْطِقُ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ»
