It is narrated from al-Sha'bi that Atikah bint Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl, lamenting Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), said: "O my eye, pour forth tears abundantly and weep bitterly; do not be slack (in weeping) over the firm Imam. Death has grieved me with the loss of the horseman who was the foremost warrior on the day of battle and assault. He was the refuge of the religion and a helper against the hardships of time, and like a rain of mercy for the destitute and the distressed. Tell the people of hardship and poverty to die now, for death has made Umar drink the cup of sha'ub (death)." Atikah (may Allah be pleased with her) also said: "Fayruz (Abu Lu'lu'ah), may Allah grant him no good, has grieved me over that fair-complexioned man who recited the Book of Allah abundantly and turned to Allah in repentance. He was most kind to those close to him and stern with the enemies, a trustworthy and noble brother in times of calamity. Whenever he said something, his deed did not belie his word; he hastened towards good deeds, and there was never a frown on his face." Imam al-Hakim said: The hadith of the story of the Shura is found in the two Sahihs, but here I have mentioned some narrations whose chains are authentic and which contain useful and rare information.
