باب مِنْ فَضَائِلِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ:Chapter: The Virtues Of 'Umar (RA)
حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي ، وقَالَ حَسَنٌ : حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ سَعْدًا ، قَالَ : " اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَعِنْدَهُ نِسَاءٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ، يُكَلِّمْنَهُ ، وَيَسْتَكْثِرْنَهُ عَالِيَةً أَصْوَاتُهُنَّ ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَأْذَنَ عُمَرُ ، قُمْنَ يَبْتَدِرْنَ الْحِجَابَ ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضْحَكُ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَضْحَكَ اللَّهُ سِنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : عَجِبْتُ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ اللَّاتِي كُنَّ عِنْدِي ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَ صَوْتَكَ ابْتَدَرْنَ الْحِجَابَ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : فَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يَهَبْنَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ عُمَرُ : أَيْ عَدُوَّاتِ أَنْفُسِهِنَّ أَتَهَبْنَنِي ، وَلَا تَهَبْنَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قُلْنَ : نَعَمْ ، أَنْتَ أَغْلَظُ وَأَفَظُّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، مَا لَقِيَكَ الشَّيْطَانُ قَطُّ سَالِكًا ، فَجًّا إِلَّا سَلَكَ فَجًّا غَيْرَ فَجِّكَ " .
Sa'd bin Waqqas reported that Umar sought permission from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) to visit him when some women of the Quraish were busy in talking with him and raising their voices above his Voiee. When'Umar sought permission they stood up and went hurriedly behind the curtain. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave him permission smilingly. Thereupon 'Umar said: Allah's Messenger, may Allah keep you happy all your life. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I wonder at these women who were with me and no sooner did they hear your voice, they immediately went behind the curtain. Thereupon 'Umar said: Allah's Messenger, you have more right that they should fear you. Then Umar (addressing the women) said: O ye enemies of yourselves, do you fear me and fear not the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ? They said: Yes, you are harsh and strict as compared to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . Thereupon, Allah's Messenger (maypeace be upon him) said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if satan would encounter you in the way he would certainly take a different way from that of yours.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
Anta aghlaz wa afatt:
Everywhere, the comparative form of the verb is not used for the purpose of excess; therefore, here the intent is merely to express the severity and harshness of Umar—that he does not show consideration or leniency to anyone, whereas the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would overlook matters, and Umar (radi Allahu anhu), out of respect and support for the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), spoke harsh words on his behalf.
Benefits and Issues:
This hadith proves that Umar (radi Allahu anhu) would choose the correct path; Satan could not mislead him from the straight path.
