[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 ؓ »
