Hazrat Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I did not have any opinion about Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) except that it was as if an angel was between his two eyes, guiding him and leading him on the straight path.

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.
