It is narrated from Hazrat Miswar bin Makhramah. He says: I heard Hazrat Umar saying… while one of my fingers was inside his wound… O group of Quraysh! I do not fear people against you, rather I only fear you against people. Surely, I am leaving two things among you; as long as you hold fast to them, you will remain in goodness continuously: justice in judgment and justice in distribution. And indeed, I am leaving you on a completely straight path; however, if any nation chooses a crooked path, they will proceed upon that crooked path.

It is narrated from Hazrat Miswar bin Makhramah that I and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) entered upon Hazrat Umar after he had been attacked and was unconscious. So we said, "Nothing will awaken him more than mentioning the prayer." Thus, we said, "O Commander of the Faithful! The prayer!" Upon this, Hazrat Umar became alert and said, "The prayer! There is no share in Islam for the one who abandons the prayer." Then Hazrat Umar performed the prayer in that condition while blood was flowing from his wounds.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Maymoon that I used to leave the first row due to the awe of Hazrat Umar. The day Hazrat Umar was attacked, I was in the second row. Hazrat Umar came and said, "O servants of Allah! Straighten your rows (for prayer)." The narrator says: Then he began to lead us in prayer. Abu Lulu then struck him two or three times. The narrator says: Hazrat Umar was wearing yellow clothes. The narrator says: Then he gathered that cloth towards his chest, then he gestured and was saying, { وَکَانَ أَمْرُ اللہِ قَدَرًا مَقْدُورًا } Then he (the attacker) killed and struck twelve or thirteen more people. The narrator says: When people advanced towards the killer, he leaned on his dagger and killed himself.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Al-Harith Khuzai that I heard Hazrat Umar saying in his sermon: Last night (in a dream) I saw a rooster pecking at me, and I saw that people were driving it away from me. And I swear by God, if I remain alive, I will surely give two thousand grants to each of the general Muhajireen. But only three days had passed when Hazrat Umar was killed by Abu Lu’lu’, the slave of Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu’bah.

It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaika that Hazrat Umar did not single out anyone from among the people of the Shura, but he spoke separately with Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Uthman. And he also separated each of them from the other. He said: O so-and-so! Fear Allah, and if Allah tests you with this matter, then do not elevate the Banu so-and-so above the necks of other people. And (in the same way) he said this to the other (among Ali and Uthman) as well.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hasan bin Muhammad that Hazrat Umar said to Hazrat Uthman: Fear Allah, and if you are given authority over any of the affairs of the people, do not elevate the people of Banu Abi Mu'it above the necks of others. And Hazrat Umar said to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): Fear Allah, and if you are given authority over any of the affairs of the people, do not elevate Banu Hashim above the necks of others.

Abdul Aziz bin Umar narrates from Ibrahim bin Zarah, one of the practicing scholars of the people of Sham, that I asked Ibn Zarah: Who led the funeral prayer of Hazrat Umar? He replied: Suhaib did.

It is narrated from Hazrat Qasim that when Hazrat Umar was struck with a spear, people came to him and began to praise him and pray for him. Hazrat Umar said to them, "Are you considering me pure on the basis of the caliphate? Indeed, I kept the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he departed from this world in a state that he was pleased with me. Then I kept the company of Hazrat Abu Bakr, and I listened to and obeyed his commands, and he also passed away in a state that I was one who listened to and obeyed him. And as for myself, I only fear for myself because of your leadership over me."

Hazrat Yahya bin Abdur Rahman bin Hatib and other elders narrate that before his martyrdom, Hazrat Umar saw in a dream that a rooster pecked him between his navel and chest. Hazrat Asma bint Umais was an expert in dream interpretation. When she heard this dream, she said, "Tell him to make his will." I do not know whether this interpretation reached him or not. A few days later, Abu Lu’lu’, the slave of Mughirah bin Shu’bah, came to Hazrat Umar, and Hazrat Umar asked, "What do you do?" He replied, "I make mills." Hazrat Umar said, "Then you are not very numerous, because here no one else does this work. Will you make a mill for me?" He said, "I will make such a mill for you that its fame will spread throughout the world."

2. Then Hazrat Umar set out for Hajj. When he arrived, he lay down at the place of Rami Jamar and placed his sheet under his head. He looked at the moon and was very pleased with its beauty and symmetry. Upon this, he said, "In the beginning, it appears weak, then Allah Almighty keeps increasing and growing it until it becomes full and reaches the height of beauty. Then it starts to decrease until it becomes as it was before. The condition of all creation is the same." Then he raised his hands and prayed, "O Allah! My subjects have become very numerous and have spread far and wide, so call me back to You without weakness or neglect."

3. Then Hazrat Umar returned to Madinah, and it was mentioned before him that a Muslim woman had died at the place of Baida. She was lying on the ground, and people were passing by her. No one shrouded or buried her until Hazrat Kulayb bin Bukayr Laithi passed by her and stayed with her until he shrouded and buried her. This was mentioned before Hazrat Umar, so he asked, "Which Muslims passed by her?" People replied, "Among those who passed by her was Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both)." So he called Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said, "Woe to you! You passed by a Muslim woman who had fallen on the ground on the way, and you did not shroud or bury her. Why?" He replied, "I did not know about her, nor did anyone mention her to me." Hazrat Umar said, "I fear that you may be devoid of goodness." Then Hazrat Umar asked, "Who shrouded and buried this woman?" People replied, "Kulayb bin Bukayr Laithi did." He said, "By Allah! Kulayb is worthy of receiving goodness."

4. Then Hazrat Umar went out to wake people for the morning prayer, and he met Abu Lu’lu’, the disbeliever, who struck him three times between his navel and chest. He also struck Hazrat Kulayb bin Bukayr and killed him. People raised their voices, and a man threw a large sheet over Abu Lu’lu’. Hazrat Umar was carried to his house, and Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Awf led the people in prayer. Hazrat Umar was told, "Prayer!" So he prayed in that condition while blood was flowing from his wounds. He said, "The one who does not pray has no share in Islam." Thus, he performed the prayer while his blood was dripping. Then people came to Hazrat Umar and said, "O Commander of the Faithful! You have no wounds, and surely we hope that Allah will keep your blessings for us and grant you respite for another time or for another good deed."

5. Then Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to Hazrat Umar... Hazrat Umar loved Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both)... Hazrat Umar said, "See who has killed me." So Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) went out and then returned and said, "O Commander of the Faithful! Rejoice, for your killer is Abu Lu’lu’, the Magian, the slave of Mughirah bin Shu’bah." Upon this, Hazrat Umar said "Allahu Akbar" so loudly that his voice reached outside the door. Then Hazrat Umar said, "All praise is due to Allah, who did not make my killer a Muslim man, so that on the Day of Judgment he would not dispute with me over a prostration that he made only for Allah." Then Hazrat Umar turned to the people and said, "Is this man from your people?" The people said, "Allah forbid! We would prefer to sacrifice our fathers for you and add to your life from our own lives. You have no..."
