It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out for jihad with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during Ramadan, and the incident of the conquest of Makkah also took place in Ramadan. On both occasions, we did not fast during the journey. (Rather, we made up for them later.)

Ghazban bin Hanzalah narrates that his father Hanzalah once came to the service of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) bringing a delegation. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would ask every person in the delegation about where he was from. When he reached my father, he asked him the same: "Where are you from?" He replied: "From the tribe of Anzah." So he (Umar) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the people of this tribe are victorious and supported."

Muammar (who is a well-known hadith narrator) once asked Sayyiduna Saeed bin Musayyib, may Allah have mercy on him, about the ruling of fasting while traveling. He narrated this hadith to him from Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that we participated twice in jihad with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the month of Ramadan: once at the Battle of Badr and once at the Conquest of Makkah, and on both occasions we did not fast.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The greatest danger I fear for my Ummah is from the hypocrite who is eloquent in speech."

Sayyiduna Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that he was with Muslamah bin Abdul Malik in the land of Rome when stolen spoils of war were found among a man's belongings. People asked Sayyiduna Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) about this issue, so he narrated this hadith of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) through his father Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you find stolen spoils of war among a person's belongings, burn those belongings with fire," and perhaps he also said, "Beat that person." So the people took out his belongings and placed them in the market, and among them a Qur'an was also found. The people asked Salim about it, so he said, "Sell it and give its price in charity."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to seek Allah’s protection from five things: «مِنَ الْبُخْلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الصَّدْرِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَسُوءِ الْعُمُرِ» from miserliness, from cowardice, from the trial of the heart, from the punishment of the grave, and from an evil old age.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: There are three types of martyrs. The Muslim man whose faith is strong, who faces the enemy, and fulfills the word of Allah until he is martyred—he is the one whom people will look up to on the Day of Resurrection, raising their necks to see him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself raised his head to demonstrate this, until his cap fell off. The Muslim man whose faith is strong, who faces the enemy, and it feels as if thorns have been pricked into his body, then suddenly an arrow comes from somewhere and he is martyred—he will be in the second rank. The Muslim man whose faith is strong, but he has done both good and bad deeds, and when he faces the enemy, he fulfills the word of Allah until he is martyred—he will be in the third rank.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Retribution (qisas) will not be taken from a father for his child."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Retaliation (qisas) will not be taken from a father for (killing) his child.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) washed each of his limbs of ablution only once.
