It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once I, Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Khaybar to look after our respective properties. When we arrived there, each of us went to his own land. At night, while I was sleeping on my bed, someone attacked me and both my hands were dislocated from the elbows. In the morning, my two companions were informed of this incident. They came and began to ask me, "Who did this?" I said, "I have no idea." They set the bones of my hands in place and took me to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He said, "This is certainly the doing of the Jews." After that, he stood before the people to address them and said, "O people! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made an agreement with the Jews of Khaybar on the condition that we could expel them whenever we wished. Now they have attacked Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and as you know, they have dislocated the joints of his hands. Before this, they did the same to an Ansari as well. We have no doubt that these are their associates; we have no other enemies here besides them. Therefore, whoever has any property in Khaybar should go there, because now I am going to expel the Jews from there." Thus it happened, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) expelled them from Khaybar.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was delivering the Friday sermon. During the sermon, a man came; Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "Why are you so late in coming for the prayer?" He replied, "As soon as I heard the call to prayer, I performed ablution and came." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Really? Did you not hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that when any one of you goes for Friday (prayer), he should perform ghusl (ritual bath)?"

Abu Uthman says that we were in Azerbaijan when a letter from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, in which it was written: O Utbah bin Farqad! Guard yourself against luxury, wearing silk garments, and adopting the ways of the polytheists, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from wearing silk garments except for a small amount, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated this by raising his finger.

Once, Abu Sinan Duwali (may Allah have mercy on him) presented himself before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), at that time a group of the earliest Muhajireen were also present before him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called for a box that had been brought to him from Iraq. When it was opened, a ring was taken out from it. One of Sayyiduna Umar’s sons or grandsons took it and put it in his mouth. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took it back from him and began to weep. Those present asked,“Why are you weeping, when Allah has granted you so many victories, given you dominance over the enemy, and cooled your eyes?”He replied,“I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘When Allah opens the door of the world to a person, He places enmities and hatred among them until the Day of Judgment.’ I fear this very thing.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): If any one of us becomes impure and wants to sleep before performing ghusl, what should he do? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He should perform ablution as for prayer and then go to sleep."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the chief of the hypocrites, Abdullah bin Ubayy, passed away, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was called to lead his funeral prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went to the funeral and stood to lead the prayer, I turned from my place and stood in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Will you lead the funeral prayer of this enemy of Allah, Abdullah bin Ubayy, who said such and such on such and such a day and such and such on another day?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to recount his absurdities. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kept smiling, but when I persisted, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me: "Umar! Step back. I have been given a choice in this matter, and I have chosen one aspect. It has been said to me that whether you seek forgiveness for them or do not seek forgiveness, it is the same for them. Even if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never forgive them. If I knew that seeking forgiveness more than seventy times would grant him forgiveness, I would seek forgiveness for him more than seventy times." After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led his funeral prayer, went with the funeral, and stood by his grave until the matter was finished. I was amazed at myself and my boldness, although Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) knew best. By Allah! Only a short while had passed when the following two verses were revealed. «وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ» [9-التوبة:84] "If any of the hypocrites dies, never pray the funeral prayer for him, nor stand by his grave. Surely, they disobeyed Allah and His Messenger and died in a state of wickedness." After the revelation of this verse, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never led the funeral prayer of any hypocrite, nor did he ever stand by the graves of the hypocrites.

Nafi’ says that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say: If a man has only one garment, he should tie it as a lower wrap (izaar) and pray in it, because I heard Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saying this, and he also used to say: If there is only one garment, do not wrap it around yourself like a blanket as the Jews do. Nafi’ says: If I say that he attributed this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I hope I will not be lying.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever dies in such a state that he believes in Allah and the Last Day, it will be said to him: Enter through whichever of the eight gates of Paradise you wish."

Mujahid says that once a man struck his son with a sword and killed him. He was caught and brought before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: "If I had not heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that retribution (qisas) is not taken from a father for (killing) his child, I would have killed you as well, and you would not have been able to get up from here."

Abis bin Rabi'ah says that I once saw Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) keeping his gaze fixed on the Black Stone and addressing it, saying, "By Allah! If I had not seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kissing you, I would never have kissed you." Saying this, he kissed it.
