[Machine] I said to Umar ibn al-Khattab, "If only I had witnessed the Prophet ﷺ when revelation descended upon him." Umar said, "We were once traveling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he stopped to rest at a certain place. An Arab man wearing a yellow cloak approached him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have entered into a state of ihram for Umrah, and the people are mocking me. What should I do?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent. Then, Allah revealed His Words and pointed to me with his hand. I lowered my head, and when I looked up, I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with red eyes and forehead. He was angry for my sake and said, 'Where is the person who asked about al-Umrah?' I replied, 'It is me, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Remove your cloak and perform what you have not done during Hajj in your Umrah.'"
قُلْتُ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ قَالَ فَكُنَّا فِي سَفَرٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا وَجَاءَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ عَلَيْهَا الزَّعْفَرَانُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَحْرَمْتُ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَالنَّاسُ يَسْخَرُونَ مِنِّي فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ الْوَحْيَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ عُمَرُ بِيَدِهِ فَأَدْخَلْتُ رَأْسِي الْخِبَاءَ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُحْمَرٌّ عَيْنَاهُ وَجَبِينُهُ فَسُرِّيَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ الْعُمْرَةِ فَقَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ انْزَعْ عَنْكَ جُبَّتَكَ وَمَا كُنْتَ صَانِعًا فِي حَجِّكَ فَاصْنَعْهُ فِي عُمْرَتِكَ
