It is narrated from Nafi' that he said: Had you seen Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) following the traces and footsteps of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) so intensely, you would certainly have said (seeing the depth of his devotion): This man is mad.

It is narrated from Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) accepted Islam (at a young age) before his father, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man asked him about an issue, and he said: "I have no knowledge of it." When the man turned his back and left, Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said (in acknowledgement of a blessing): "How well Ibn Umar answered! He was asked about something he did not know, and he said (without hesitation): I have no knowledge of it."
