Hadith 3669

وَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَالِمٍ : عَنْ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْقَاسِمُ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ : شَخَصَ بَصَرُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : فِي الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى ثَلَاثًا وَقَصَّ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَتْ : فَمَا كَانَتْ مِنْ خُطْبَتِهِمَا مِنْ خُطْبَةٍ إِلَّا نَفَعَ اللَّهُ بِهَا لَقَدْ خَوَّفَ عُمَرُ النَّاسَ وَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ لَنِفَاقًا فَرَدَّهُمُ اللَّهُ بِذَلِكَ .
'Aisha said (in another narration), ("When the Prophet was on his death-bed) he looked up and said thrice, (Amongst) the Highest Companion (See Qur'an 4.69)' Aisha said, Allah benefited the people by their two speeches. 'Umar frightened the people some of whom were hypocrites whom Allah caused to abandon Islam because of 'Umar's speech.
