Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38625 — the first to do a thing, and who did
٣٨٦٢٥ - حدثنا يحيى بن يعلى الأسلمي عن عبد اللَّه بن المؤمل عن أبي الزبير عن جابر قال: كان أول إسلام عمر، قال: قال عمر: (١) ضرب أختي المخاض، قال: فأخرجت من البيت، (فدخلت) (٢) (٣) في أستار الكعبة في ليلة قارة، قال: فجاء النبي ﷺ فدخل الحجر وعليه نعلاه، قال: فصلى ما شاء اللَّه ثم انصرف، فسمعت شيئًا لم أسمع مثله، فخرجت فاتبعته فقال: "من هذا؟ " فقلت: عمر، قال: "يا عمر ما تدعني ليلا و (لا) (٤) نهارًا" قال: فخشيت أن يدعو علي، فقلت: أشهد أن لا إله إلا اللَّه، وأنك رسول اللَّه، فقال: "يا عمر استره"، قال: فقلت: والذي ⦗١٥٧⦘ بعثك بالحق (لأعلننه كما أعلنت الشرك) (٥) (٦).
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The beginning of the Islam of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) happened in this way. He said: One night my sister went into labor, so I was put out of the house. On a cold night I went in among the coverings of the Ka'bah. Just then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and entered the Hijr wearing his sandals. He prayed as much as Allah willed and then turned to leave. I heard something the like of which I had never heard before, so I came out and followed him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who is this?" I said: "I am Umar." He said: "O Umar, what is the matter that you leave us neither by day nor by night?" I feared that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) might invoke Allah against me, so I said: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah." He said: "O Umar, keep this secret." I said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, just as I proclaimed polytheism, I will proclaim faith as well."
