Mishkat al-Masabih 6050 — The alignment of Hazrat Umar’s rulings, may

Anas and Ibn `Umar told that 'Umar said: I agreed with my Lord regarding three matters. I said, "Messenger of God, would that we could take Abraham's station as a place of prayer!" and the revelation came down, "And take Abraham's station as a place of prayer." I said, "Messenger of God, both pious and profligate come in where your women are. If only you would order them to seclude themselves!" Then the verse about secluding came down. The Prophet's wives united in jealousy and I said, "Perhaps if he divorces you his Lord will give him better wives than you in place of you." Then a revelation to that effect came down. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
