(الحَقُّ عَلَى لِسَانِ حَضْرَةِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ)
(Truth on the tongue of Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 6043
وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَضَعَ الْحَقَّ عَلَى لِسَان عمر يَقُول بِهِ»
In Abu Dawud's version on the authority of Abu Dharr he said, "God has placed truth on `Umar's tongue and he speaks it." Ali said. We did not think it impossible that the Sakina[*] should speak with `Umar's tongue. Baihaqi transmitted it in Dala'il an nubuwa.
