الفَصْلُ الرَّابِعُ فِي مَوَافَقَانِهِ لِلْحَقِّ أَوْ كَوْنِهِ مِنَ الْمُلْهَمِينَThe Fourth Section Regarding His Agreement with the Truth or Being Among the Inspired Ones
Hadith 12205
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”قَدْ كَانَ فِي الْأُمَمِ مُحَدَّثُونَ فَإِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَعُمَرُ“
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In the previous nations, there were some people who used to receive inspiration from Allah; if there is any such person in my Ummah, it would be Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "inspiration" (ilham) is meant that Allah, the Exalted, inspires them with the truth and then grants them the ability to speak in accordance with it. This was a distinguishing characteristic of Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu; on several occasions, whatever opinion he expressed, Allah, the Exalted, revealed Qur’an and decreed in accordance with it. A few examples of this will be mentioned in the following ahadith.
