Hazrat Zaid bin Wahb (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I do not think there is any household of the Muslims in which, on the day of Hazrat Umar’s death, the grief of Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not enter, except that it would be a bad household. Surely, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was among us the one with the greatest knowledge of Allah Almighty, the one who recited Allah’s Book the most among us, and the one with the deepest understanding of Allah’s religion among us.

Hazrat Zir, may Allah have mercy on him, says that when the righteous were mentioned in the presence of Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, he would immediately proclaim the name of Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him. And he would say! Indeed, his acceptance of Islam was a help to the Muslims and his caliphate was a victory for the Muslims. By Allah! I do not know of anything on earth except that everything felt the absence of Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, even the thorny trees. By Allah! Indeed, I used to think that there was an angel between his two eyes who guided him to the straight path and directed him. And by Allah! Indeed, Satan was afraid that he might cause any mischief in Islam because Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, would turn him back from it. By Allah! If I were to know that even a dog loves Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, I would also begin to love that dog.

Hazrat Mus'ab bin Sa'd (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Surely Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) is in Paradise, and whatever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw in sleep and wakefulness is all true. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was in Paradise when I saw a house there, so I asked: For whom is this? It was said: For Umar bin Khattab.

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that indeed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I entered Paradise and saw a beautiful palace made of gold, so I asked: Whose house is this? The angels said: It belongs to a young man from the Quraysh. So I thought that surely it would be me, so I asked: Who is that young man? They said: Umar bin Khattab.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I entered Paradise and there I saw a palace made of gold, whose beauty greatly pleased me. So I asked: For whom is this? I was told: For Umar bin Khattab. Then nothing prevented me from entering it except that, O Abu Hafs, I remembered your sense of honor. Upon this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Would I ever feel any sense of honor against you?

Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I entered Paradise and saw a house or a palace in it. Then I heard a voice, so I asked: Whose is this? It was said: It belongs to Umar ibn Khattab. Then I wanted to enter it, but I remembered your sense of honor. Upon this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon you)! Would I feel any sense of honor against you?!

Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I passed by a square palace which had upper chambers. So I asked: Whose palace is this? It was replied: It belongs to a man from among the Arabs. Upon this I said: I am also an Arab. Whose palace is this? They said: It is for a person from the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him). I said: I am Muhammad (peace be upon him) myself. Whose palace is this? They said: It is for Umar bin Khattab.

Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I think, O Umar! Satan is afraid of you.

Hazrat Abu Hashim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding this verse of the Quran { وَصَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ }: that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) is meant.

Hazrat Abu Safar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was often seen wearing a particular sheet, so he was asked: "Indeed, you (may Allah be pleased with you) often wear this sheet?" He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "This was given to me to wear by my very close, sincere, and special friend Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). Indeed, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) repented to Allah with sincerity, so Allah also accepted his repentance." Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep.
