Nafi' reports that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had an extension made in the Prophet's Mosque from the pillar to the noble enclosure, and later Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) also increased its structure in his expansion. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that if I had not heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying that we wish to further expand the structure of this mosque, I would never have made any addition to it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) once said: Allah Almighty sent the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the truth; He revealed the Book to him, in which there was also the verse of stoning, according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also carried out stoning, and we also carried out stoning. Then he said that we used to read this command as well: "Do not show aversion to your forefathers, for this is disbelief on your part." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not exaggerate about me as was exaggerated about Sayyiduna Isa (peace be upon him); I am only a servant, so say: He is Allah’s servant and His Messenger."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): I have heard people saying something, and I will not fall short in conveying it to you. People think that you are not appointing anyone as your successor? He lowered his head for a moment and then raised it and said: Allah Himself will protect His religion. I will not appoint anyone as my successor because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also did not appoint anyone as his successor, and if I do appoint someone as successor, then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also did the same.

Malik bin Aws narrates that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) once called me, then he mentioned the complete hadith, in which Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Inheritance is not established in our wealth; whatever we leave behind is charity."

It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) that when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, the people began to weep. Upon this, Sayyiduna 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The deceased is punished because of the weeping of his people of the neighborhood over him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed away and after him Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was chosen as the Caliph, and those among the Arabs who could become disbelievers, became 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 «لا اله الا الله» , whoever says «لا اله الا الله» 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 certainly 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) says: "I understood that Allah Almighty had opened the heart of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding this matter, and I realized that his opinion was indeed correct."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Inheritance is not established in our wealth; whatever we leave behind is charity."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the wealth obtained from Banu Nadir was from the category of Fay’ (spoils of war without fighting), which Allah granted to His Prophet, and the Muslims did not have to ride horses or any other mounts for it. Therefore, this wealth was exclusively for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would give his pure wives their yearly maintenance from it at one time, and whatever remained, he would use to provide horses and other weapons (that could be used in jihad).

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 the night comes from here and the day departs from there and the sun sets, then the fasting person should break his fast. By 'here' and 'there' is meant the east and the west."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that I had a great desire to ask Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about (those two noble wives of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), but I did not have the courage, and two years passed. Then once Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) set out for Hajj, and I was with him. On the way, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) started walking away from the people, so I also followed him carrying a water vessel. He fulfilled his natural need, and when he returned, I poured water on his hands and said: O Commander of the Faithful! Who are those two women who wanted to prevail over the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ? He replied: Aisha and Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with them both).
