Hadith 37207
٣٧٢٠٧ - حدثنا يحيى بن عيسى عن الأعمش عن إبراهيم عن همام عن حذيفة قال: دخلت على عمر وهو قاعد على جذع في داره، وهو يحدث نفسه فدنوت منه فقلت: ما الذي أهمك يا أمير المؤمنين؟ فقال: هكذا بيده وأشار بها، قال: قلت: الذي يهمك، واللَّه لو رأينا منك أمرا ننكره لقومناك، قال: آللَّهِ الذي لا إله إلا هو، لو رأيتم مني أمرا تنكرونه لقومتموه، فقلت: آللَّهِ الذي لا إله إلا هو، لو رأينا منك أمرا ننكره لقومناك، قال: ففرح بذلك فرحا شديدا، ⦗٣١٨⦘ وقال: الحمد للَّه الذي جعل فيكم أصحاب محمد (١) من الذي [إذا رأى مني أمرا ينكره قومني (٢).
It is narrated from Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I went to Hazrat Umar while he was at the threshold of his house, talking to himself. I approached him and asked: O Commander of the Faithful! What has made you anxious? He (may Allah be pleased with him) gestured with his hands and said something. The narrator says: I asked, What has caused you to be apprehensive? By Allah! If we see any objectionable matter from you, we will set you straight. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! There is no deity except Allah. If you see any objectionable matter from me, will you set me straight? I said: By Him besides whom there is no deity! If we see any objectionable matter from you, we will certainly set you straight. The narrator says: Upon this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became very happy and said: All praise is due to Allah, who has created among you companions of Muhammad (peace be upon him) who, if they see any objectionable matter from me, will set me straight.
