It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): If a person becomes impure by choice, can he sleep in that state? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Yes! He should perform ablution and then sleep."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When night comes and the day departs and the sun sets, then you should break your fast (meaning the east and the west)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amir bin Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once at a place called ‘Usfan, Nafi‘ bin ‘Abd al-Harith met Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had appointed him as the governor of Makkah Mukarramah. Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him,“Whom have you appointed as your deputy in your absence?”He replied,“‘Abdur Rahman bin Abza.”Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked,“Who is Ibn Abza?”He replied,“He is one of our freed slaves.”Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“You have appointed a slave as your deputy?”He replied,“He is a reciter of the Noble Qur’an, knows the laws of inheritance and obligations, and has the ability to judge.”Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“Your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has already said regarding such people that indeed Allah will honor many people through this Book and will abase many others through it.”

Abu Al-Bakhtari narrates that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) once said to Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him): "Stretch out your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that you are the trustworthy one of this Ummah." He replied: "I cannot go ahead of the one whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to lead us and who continued to lead us until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed some things. I said: O Messenger of Allah! There were other people who were more deserving of this than those whom you left out. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They gave me the choice either to give in an inappropriate manner or to be considered miserly, but I am not miserly." (Benefit: The meaning is that if I did not give anything to the people of Suffa, it was not because I kept something back for myself, and if I gave to others, I did so keeping their needs in view.)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): If a person becomes impure by choice, can he sleep in that state? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! Let him perform ablution as for prayer and then sleep."

The previous narration is also mentioned through another chain of transmission, which has already been stated in the wording.

Once, Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) saw Sa’d bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) wiping over his leather socks, so he asked,“Do you also do this?”He replied,“Yes!”Then both of them went together to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), so Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“O Leader of the Believers! Please explain the issue of wiping over leather socks to our nephew.”Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“In the past, we used to wipe over the leather socks with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and we still do.”Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) asked,“Even if a person has just come after defecating or urinating?”He replied,“Yes! Even if he has just come after defecating or urinating.”Nafi’ says that after this, Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) also started wiping over the leather socks and continued to do so until he took them off, and he did not specify any particular time for it.

Sayyiduna Malik bin Aws bin Al-Hadthan narrates that once I made a transaction of silver in exchange for gold with Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Wait a little, our treasurer will be coming from 'Ghabah'." Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "No! Do not part from him until you have received your due from him, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The exchange of gold for silver is usury, except when it is done hand to hand (on the spot).'"

It is narrated from Ubaidullah bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when, during the time of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), those among the Arabs who could apostatize did so, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): "How can you fight against these people when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah). Whoever says La ilaha illallah has protected his life and wealth from me, except for the right of Islam, and his reckoning is with Allah'?" Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! I will surely fight against the one who differentiates between prayer and zakat, because zakat is the due right of wealth. By Allah! If they withhold even a young goat which they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I will fight them for it." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then I understood that Allah Almighty had opened the chest of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding this matter, and I realized that his opinion was indeed correct."
