Adab - 22nd Safar 1422 (17 May 2001)
Narrated by Sad (Radhiallaho anho):
'Umar bin Al-Khattab asked permission of Allah's Messenger
(sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) to see him while some Quraishi
women were sitting with him and they were asking him to give
them more financial support while raising their voices over
the voice of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam). When
'Umar asked permission to enter, all of them hurried to screen
themselves. The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) admitted
'Umar and he entered, while the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi
wasallam) was smiling. 'Umar said, "May Allah always keep you
smiling, O Allah's Apostle! Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you!" The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)
said, "I am astonished at these women who were with me. As soon
as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves."
'Umar said, "You have more right, that they should be afraid of
you, O Allah's Apostle!" And then he ('Umar) turned towards them
and said, "O enemies of your souls! You are afraid of me and not
of Allah's Apostle?" The women replied, "Yes, for you are sterner
and harsher than Allah's Apostle." Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu
'alaihi wasallam) said, "O Ibn Al-Khattab! By Him in Whose Hands
my life is, whenever Satan sees you taking a way, he follows a
way other than yours!"
