Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34175 — Reports on the virtue of Umar bin

Urwah bin al-Zubayr reports that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Surely the jinn also wept over Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) three days before he was martyred, and they recited these verses: The earth, with its 'idah trees, trembles at the parting of the one martyred in Madinah. May Allah Almighty grant the Commander of the Faithful, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), a good reward and put blessing in his body. Whoever would mount a ride to repeat your achievements cannot do so. You settled many affairs, then left behind you calamities still in their sheaths, not yet burst open. I never feared that his death would come at the hands of a green-eyed, head-lowered beast (Abu Lu'lu'ah).
