۔عَنْ حَمْزَۃَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللّٰہِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِیہِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللّٰہِ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم یَقُولُ: ((أُتِیتُ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ بِقَدَحٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْہُ حَتَّی جَعَلَ اللَّبَنُ یَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَظْفَارِی ثُمَّ نَاوَلْتُ فَضْلِی عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ۔)) فَقَالَ یَا رَسُولَ اللّٰہِ! فَمَا أَوَّلْتَہُ؟ قَالَ: ((الْعِلْمُ۔))
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was sleeping when a bowl of milk was brought to me. I drank from it until the milk began to flow from my fingernails. Then what remained, I gave to Sayyiduna Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: O Messenger of Allah! How have you interpreted it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It means knowledge.
