It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was walking in Paradise when I saw a palace. I asked, "O Jibreel! Whose is this?" while I was hoping that it would be mine. He said, "It is Umar's." Then I walked a little further and saw a palace even more beautiful than the first. I asked, "Jibreel! Whose is this?" while I was expecting that it would be mine. He informed me that it is Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him), and in it are wide-eyed maidens (houris) as well. O Umar! If your sense of honor had not prevented me, I would have entered it. Upon hearing this, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I cannot be possessive over you."
