عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ نُسَيٍّ عَنْ غُضَيْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ نِعْمَ الْفَتَى غُضَيْفٌ فَلَقِيَهُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ أَيْ أُخَيَّ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ أَنْتَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَسْتَغْفِرَ لِي فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ نِعْمَ الْفَتَى غُضَيْفٌ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ضَرَبَ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ وَقَلْبِهِ“ قَالَ عَفَّانُ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ بِهِ
It is narrated from Ghadaif bin Harith that he passed by Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said, "Ghadaif! He is a good man." Then Ghadaif met Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), so Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "My brother! Pray for my forgiveness." Ghadaif said: "You are a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you are more deserving to pray for me." He said: "I heard Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saying that Ghadaif is a good man, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that Allah Almighty has made the truth flow on Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him) heart and tongue."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Allah Ta'ala has made truth incumbent upon the tongue of Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu; his tongue cannot transgress from truth to falsehood. Subhan Allah! Whomever Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu would praise as a good person, people would begin to consider him good.
