[Machine] I used to recite it, meaning the Prophet ﷺ , and I did not know his companions until a far and bald man came. I was told to be quiet, to be quiet. So I said, "May my father be sacrificed for him, who is this person that I should be quiet for him in front of the Prophet ﷺ ?" It was said, "It is Umar ibn Al-Khattab." Then I knew, by Allah, that it was hard for him if he heard me and did not speak to me until he took me by the leg and dragged me to Al-Baqi.
كُنْتُ أُنْشِدُهُ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَلَا أَعْرِفُ أَصْحَابَهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ رَجُلٌ بَعِيدُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنَاكِبِ أَصْلَعُ فَقِيلَ لِي اسْكُتِ اسْكُتْ فَقُلْتُ وَاثُكْلَاهُ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي أَسْكُتُ لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقِيلَ إِنَّهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَعَرَفْتُ وَاللهِ بَعْدُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَهُونُ عَلَيْهِ لَوْ سَمِعَنِي أَنْ لَا يُكَلِّمَنِي حَتَّى يَأْخُذَ بِرِجْلِي فَيَسْحَبَنِي إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ
