[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "O Allah, strengthen Islam through Umar ibn Al-Khattab." Umar's sister had been beaten earlier in the night while reciting "Read in the name of your Lord who created", to the point where I thought he had killed her. Then he got up from his place of magic and heard her reciting "Read in the name of your Lord who created". He said, "By Allah, this is not poetry, nor is it mere words." He went until he came to the Messenger of Allah and found Bilal at the door. He pushed the door and Bilal said, "Who is this?" Umar ibn Al-Khattab said, "It is Umar ibn Al-Khattab." He said, "Until I ask permission for you from the Messenger of Allah." Bilal said, "O Messenger of Allah, Umar is at the door." The Messenger of Allah said, "If Allah intends good for Umar, He will bring him into Islam." He said to Bilal, "Open the door." The Messenger of Allah held Umar by his collar and shook him and said, "What do you want and why have you come?" Umar said to him, "Present to me what you invite to." The Prophet replied, "Testify that there is no god but Allah, alone without partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger." Umar accepted Islam right away and said, "Leave me."
