Imran Aslami, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, about the nabidh (fermented drink) of a pitcher. He replied that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade the nabidh of a pitcher and of a gourd. Then I asked the same question to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, so he narrated this hadith from Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade the use of a gourd and a green pitcher. Then I asked the same question to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair, may Allah be pleased with him, and he also said that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade the nabidh of a pitcher and of a gourd.

In the incident of the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis, various narrators mention that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked Ka'b al-Ahbar, "In your opinion, where should I pray?" He replied, "If you want to act upon my opinion, then pray behind the rock, so that the entire Bayt al-Maqdis will be in front of you." Umar said, "You have spoken like the Jews; this cannot happen. I will pray at the place where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed on the night of Mi'raj." Thus, he moved towards the qiblah and prayed there. After the prayer, he spread out his cloak and gathered all the rubbish of that place in his cloak, and the people followed him in this.

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about kalalah, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The verse about kalalah that was revealed in the summer is sufficient for you." Asking the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this issue was more beloved to me than acquiring red camels.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "If I become impure, what should I do?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed him to wash his private parts, perform ablution as for prayer, and then go to sleep.

Qaza’ah says: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both),“Will Allah punish the deceased because of the weeping and wailing of the people of the neighborhood?”He replied:“This statement was narrated to me by Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I have not falsely attributed it to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), nor did Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) falsely attribute it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and I was also with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was reciting the Qur'an at that time, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood to listen to his recitation. Then when Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) bowed and prostrated, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Ask, you will be given." Then while returning, he said: Whoever wishes to recite the Qur'an as fresh as it was revealed, he should recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm Abd. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I thought in my heart that I must convey this good news to him tonight. So when I knocked on his door, he said: Is everything alright at this hour of the night? I said: I have come to give you glad tidings from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He said: Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) has already preceded you. I said: If he has done so, then he is indeed foremost in doing good deeds. In whatever matter I tried to compete with him, he always surpassed me in every such matter.

Aseer bin Jabir says that once a delegation from Yemen came. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was searching for the rope of his she-camel and kept asking,“Has anyone among you come from ‘Qarn’?”He continued asking until he reached the people of ‘Qarn’ and asked them,“Who are you?”They replied,“We are from ‘Qarn’.”Meanwhile, the halter of the animals slipped from the hand of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyiduna Uwais Qarni (may Allah have mercy on him). One of them picked it up and handed it to the other, and they recognized each other. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him,“What is your name?”He replied,“Uwais.”He asked,“Did you have a mother?”He replied,“Yes.”He asked,“Do you have any marks of smallpox on your body?”He replied,“Yes, but I prayed to Allah and He removed it, and now only a spot the size of a dirham remains near my navel, so that when I see it, I remember my Lord.”Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“Pray to Allah for my forgiveness.”He replied,“You are a companion of the Messenger of Allah; you pray for my forgiveness.”Upon this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘The best of the Tabi‘een will be a man named Uwais, who will have a mother and will have marks of smallpox on his body. When he prays to Allah, Allah will remove the disease from him, leaving only a spot the size of a dirham near his navel. When he sees it, he will remember his Lord.’”Sayyiduna Uwais Qarni (may Allah have mercy on him) prayed for Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)’s forgiveness and disappeared into the crowd; no one knew where he went. Later, he came to Kufa. The narrator says that we used to form a circle and remember Allah with him; he would sit with us. When he spoke, his words affected our hearts more than anyone else’s.

The previous hadith has also been narrated through another chain of transmission, which is present in the text.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the last moments of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) approached, Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) began to weep and wail. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Hafsah! Did you not hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the one over whom people wail and cry, he is punished?" After that, when the same condition occurred with Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him), he said the same to him.

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) once delivered a sermon and said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever wears silk in this world will not be made to wear it in the Hereafter."
