(جَرَى الحَقُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ حَضْرَةِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ)
(Allah made truth flow from the tongue of Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 6041
وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: «ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مِنْ يَدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَاسْتَحَالَتْ فِي يَدِهِ غَرْبًا فَلَمْ أَرَ عَبْقَرِيًّا يَفْرِي فَرْيَهُ حَتَّى رَوِيَ النَّاسُ وَضَرَبُوا بعَطَنٍ» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
The Arabic is darab an nas bi-aian In Ibn `Umar's version he said, "Then the son of al-Khattab took it from Abu Bakr's hand and it changed into a large bucket. I have not seen a strong man accomplishing what he did, till the people had enough and the camels had enough and lay down." (Bukhari and Muslim)
