Sayyidah Sudaysah (may Allah be pleased with her), the maidservant of Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ever since Umar accepted Islam, whenever Satan has come face to face with Umar, he (that is, Satan) has fallen on his face."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, in the biography of Sayyidah Sudaysah (may Allah be pleased with her), via Imam al-Awza'i from her; to our knowledge, Imam al-Awza'i did not hear from any of the Companions.
He also recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat via Imam al-Awza'i, from Salim, from Sayyidah Sudaysah (may Allah be pleased with her), and this is the correct version. Its chain is hasan (good), except that I do not know the narrator named Abd al-Rahman bin al-Fadl bin Muwaffaq. The remaining narrators of this report have been declared trustworthy.
