Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 8788 — The acceptance of Islam by Umar was
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، ثنا مِسْعَرُ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: «إِنْ كَانَ إِسْلَامُ عُمَرَ لَفَتْحًا، وَإِمَارَتُهُ لَرَحَمَةً، وَاللهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ بِالْبَيْتِ حَتَّى أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ، فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ قَابَلَهُمْ حَتَّى دَعَوْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The acceptance of Islam by Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was a victory, and his leadership was a mercy. By Allah, we were not able to pray at the House (the Ka'bah) until Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam. Then when Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted Islam, he confronted the idolaters until they left us alone, and we prayed."
