It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I saw myself entering Paradise, and there I saw in front of me the wife of Abu Talhah, Rumaisa. Then I heard a sound in front of me and said: O Jibreel! Who is this? He said: This is Bilal. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And I saw a white palace, in whose courtyard there was a young girl. I asked Jibreel: Whose palace is this? He replied that it is Umar bin Khattab’s (may Allah be pleased with him). I intended to enter it and look at it, but I remembered, Umar, your sense of honor. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, could I ever feel jealousy towards you?
