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 four types of martyrs. The Muslim man whose faith is strong, he faces the enemy and proves the word of Allah true until he is martyred—this is the man whom people will raise their necks to look at on the Day of Resurrection, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself raised his head to demonstrate this until his blessed cap fell off. The Muslim man who faces the enemy and feels as if thorns have been pricked into his body, suddenly an arrow comes from somewhere and he is martyred—he will be in the second rank. The Muslim man who has done both good and bad deeds, when he faces the enemy, he proves the word of Allah true until he is martyred—he will be in the third rank. The Muslim man who has greatly wronged himself, he faces the enemy, proves the word of Allah true, and is martyred—he will be in the fourth rank.

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

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon the people of Makkah will leave their city, but they will be able to populate it again only very little. Then the city of Makkah will become full and tall buildings will be constructed there. At that time, when the people of Makkah have left it, they will never be able to return to it again."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man who was performing ablution for the Zuhr prayer. While making ablution, he left a spot on the back of his foot the size of a fingernail, meaning he did not wash it or water did not reach there. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him and said, "Go and perform ablution properly." So he went, performed ablution again, and offered the prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not exaggerate about me as the Christians exaggerated about Sayyiduna Isa (peace be upon him). I am only Allah's servant and His messenger."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Qur’anic verse «ولا تجهر بصلاتك ولاتخافت بها» was revealed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in hiding in Makkah Mukarramah. He also says that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his companions in prayer, he would recite the Qur’an aloud. When the polytheists heard that voice, they would begin to speak ill of the Qur’an itself, the One who revealed the Qur’an, and the one who brought the Qur’an. On this occasion, this verse was revealed: Do not recite aloud so that the polytheists hear and begin to speak ill of the Qur’an itself, nor recite so quietly that your companions cannot hear it, but rather adopt a middle course.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up to deliver a sermon. After praising and glorifying Allah, he began to mention the punishment of stoning and said: Do not be deceived regarding stoning; it is one of the punishments prescribed by Allah. Remember! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also implemented the punishment of stoning, and after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we too continued to implement this punishment. If people did not say that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) has added to the Qur'an and included something in it that is not from the Book of Allah, I would have written this verse on the margin of the Noble Qur'an. Remember! Sayyiduna Umar ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) is a witness to the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) implemented the punishment of stoning, and after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we too implemented this punishment. Remember! After you, some people will come who will deny stoning, will deny the Dajjal, intercession, and the punishment of the grave, and will deny the existence of that group who, after being burned to coal in Hell, will be taken out from it.

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I have agreed with my Lord in three matters. (First) Once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! If only we could take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer," upon which this verse was revealed: "Take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer." (Second) Once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! Good and bad people both come to your pure wives; if you would command them to observe veiling, it would be better." Upon this, the verse of hijab was revealed. (Third) Once all the pure wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him) united on a certain matter, I said to them, "If the Prophet (peace be upon him) divorces you, it may be that his Lord will give him wives better than you." The verse of the Noble Qur'an was revealed with these very words.

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once I heard Sayyiduna Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) reciting Surah Al-Furqan. He recited some words in it which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had not taught me. At that time, I was performing prayer, and I wished to question him right there in the prayer. However, after finishing, I asked him, "Who taught you to recite Surah Al-Furqan in this way?" He replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did." I said, "You are lying! By Allah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not teach you this Surah in this manner." Saying this, I took hold of his hand and dragged him to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You yourself taught me Surah Al-Furqan, and I have heard him reciting it in words which you did not teach me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) told Hisham to recite it. He recited it in the same way as before. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "This Surah was revealed in this way." Then he said to me, "Umar, you also recite." So I recited it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "This Surah was also revealed in this way." Then he said, "Indeed, this Qur'an has been revealed upon seven modes of recitation."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw with my own eyes the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turning sides due to hunger, and he could not even find inferior dates with which he could fill his stomach.
