Musnad Imam Ahmad Bin Hanble

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ هِشَامَ بْنَ حَكِيمٍ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا أَقْرَؤُهَا وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْرَأَنِيهَا فَأَخَذْتُ بِثَوْبِهِ فَذَهَبْتُ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْفُرْقَانِ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا أَقْرَأْتَنِيهَا فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ فَقَرَأَ الْقِرَاءَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي اقْرَأْ فَقَرَأْتُ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ

'Umar bin al-Khattab said: I heard Hisham bin Hakeem reciting Sooratul-Furqan in prayer in a manner other than I recited it, and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) had taught it to me. I caught him by his garment and brought him to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and said: O Messenger of Allah, I heard this man reciting Sooratul-Furqan in a maimer other than you taught it to me. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Recite it." He recited it in the manner in which I had heard him recite, and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Thus it was revealed." Then he said to me: "Recite it." So i recited it and he said; "Thus it was revealed. This Qur'an has been revealed in seven modes of recitation, so recite whatever is easy for you."

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin as-Sa'di said: 'Umar (RA) said to me: Haven't been told that you do certain tasks for the state, then when you are given payment you do not accept it? He said: Ves. He said: Why do you do that? He said: i am well off and I have slaves and horses; I want my work to be a charity to the Muslims. He said: Do not do that, for I used to do what you are doing, and the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) would give me payment, and I would say: Give it someone who is more in need of it than me. And he said: Whatever of this wealth comes to you when you are not hoping for it or asking for it, take it, otherwise do not hanker after it."

It was narrated that 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) said: I gave a horse for the sake of Allah, but its owner neglected it. I thought that he would sell it for a cheap price, but I said to myself, not until I ask the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about that. He said: "Do not buy it even if he gives it to you for a dirham, for the one who takes back his charity is like the dog that goes back to its vomit."

It was narrated that Abu 'Ubaid, the freed slave of Ibn Azhar, said: I attended Eid with 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA). He came and prayed, then he stood and addressed the people saying: These are two days when the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) forbade fasting, the day when you break your fast and the other day, when you eat from your sacrifices.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كَانَ عُمَرُ رَجُلًا غَيُورًا فَكَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ اتَّبَعَتْهُ عَاتِكَةُ ابْنَةُ زَيْدٍ فَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ خُرُوجَهَا وَيَكْرَهُ مَنْعَهَا وَكَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَتْكُمْ نِسَاؤُكُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا تَمْنَعُوهُنَّ

It was narrated that Salim bin 'Abdullah said: 'Umar was a man of protective jealousy, and when he went out to pray, ' Atikah bint Zaid would follow him, although he did not like her going out, but he did not like to stop her. He used to narrate that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "If your womenfolk ask you for permission to pray [in the mosque], do not prevent them.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ لَوْلَا آخِرُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَا فُتِحَتْ قَرْيَةٌ إِلَّا قَسَمْتُهَا كَمَا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْبَرَ

It was narrated that 'Umar said: Were it not for the coming generations of the Muslims, I would not have conquered any town but I would have divided it as the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) divided Khaibar.

It was narrated that Abul-'Ajfa' as-Sulami said: I heard 'Umar say: Do not make women's dowries expensive, do not make women's dowries expensive, for had this been a sign of honour in this world or piety before Allah, the first one of you to do it would have been the Prophet (PBUH). The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) O did not give any of his wives, and none of his daughters were given, any more than twelve Ooqiyyahs [as a dowry]. And a man will go to great trouble in order to offer a high dowry to his wife. On one occasion he said: A man would pay his wife a high dowry until he feels resentment towards her and says: You cost me everything I own, even the string to tie a waterskin and hang it up. He [the narrator] said: I was a young Arab boy with a non-Arab mother, and I did not know what a “string" was. ['Umar] said: And another thing, you say of one who is killed in your campaigns and dies that So and so was killed as a martyr, and So and so died as a martyr. But perhaps he loaded the back of his mount with gold and silver for the purpose of trading. So do not say that; rather say what the Prophet [or what Muhammad] (PBUH) said: “Whoever is killed or dies for the sake of Allah will be in Paradise."

It was narrated that Abu Firas said: 'Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) gave a speech and said: O people, we used to know you when the Prophet (PBUH) was among us and revelation was coming down to him; Allah would tell us about you. But now the Prophet te) has passed away and revelation has ceased, and now the way to judge you is this: whoever among you shows us good conduct, we will think well of him and love him; whoever among you shows us bad conduct, we will think badly of him and hate him for that, and whatever is in your hearts is between you and your Lord. There was a time when I used to think that whoever learned the Qur'an, seeking thereby Allah and (the reward that) is with Him, would be rewarded in the Hereafter, but some men learned Quran seeking that which is with people. So seek Allah by learning Qur'an and by your good deeds. By Allah, I do not send my workers to strike you or seize your wealth; rather I send them to you to teach you your religion and Su ninth; whoever has done to him some- thing other than that, let him refer it to me, for by the One in Whose hand is my soul, I shall surely grant him retaliation. 'Amr bin al-'As stood up and said: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, do you think if one of the Muslims was in charge of some people and he disciplined one of them, would you allow that one to settle the score with him? He said: Ves, by the One in Whose hand is the soul of 'Umar, I would most certainly allow him to settle the score with him. I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) do that with regard to himself. But do not strike the Muslims and thus humiliate them, and do not keep them away from their wives on campaign for too long and thus expose them to temptation. Do not withhold from them their due rights and cause them to rebel; and do not make them camp in an area with a lot of trees, because that will cause them to be scattered.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Abi Mulaikah said: I was sitting beside Ibn 'Umar, and we were waiting for the funeral of Umm Aban bint 'Uthman bin 'Affan. 'Amr bin 'Uthman was also present. Ibn 'Abbas came, led by a guide, who told him where Ibn 'Umar was. He came and sat beside me, so I was between them, and we heard a voice from inside the house. Ibn 'Umar said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "The deceased is tormented because of the crying of his family." He said: And 'Abdullah understood it as general in meaning. Ibn 'Abbas said: We were with Ameer al-Mu'mineen 'Umar until we came to some arid land, where we found a man who had halted in the shade of a tree. He said to me: Go and find out for me who that man is. i went and found that it was Suhaib. I came back to him and said: You told me to find out for you who that man is; it is Suhaib. He said: Tell him to join us. I said: He has his family with him. He said: Even if he has his family with him [and perhaps Ayyoob said on one occasion: Tell him to join us]. When we came to Madinah, it was not long before Ameer al-Mu'mineen ['Umar] was attacked. Suhaib came, saying: O my brother, O my friend! 'Umar said: Do you not know, or have you not heard, that the Messenger of Allah (sfe) said: "The deceased is tormented because of some of his family's crying." 'Abdullah understood it as general in meaning, but 'Umar said: some of [their] weeping. I went to 'A'ishah, and I told her what Ibn 'Umar had said. She said: No, by Allah, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) did not say, "The deceased is tormented because of the weeping of anyone." Rather he said: "Allah increases the torment of the kafir because of his family's weeping, and that it is He (Allah) Who makes (whom He wills) laugh, and makes (whom He wills) weep; 'And no bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden' [Al-An'am 6:164]." Ayyoob said: Ibn Abu Mulaikah said: al-Qasim bin Muhammad told me: When 'A'ishah heard what 'Umar and Ibn 'Umar had said, she said: You are narrating to me from two who are not liars and are not to be suspected of being liars, but one may mishear.
