Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 1531 — Virtue of Umar ibn al-Khattab

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Among the children of Israel before you, there were people who used to be spoken to by the angels (they were inspired), although they were not prophets. And if there is anyone among my Ummah like them, it would be Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)."
