Hadith 24285

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " قَدْ كَانَ فِي الْأُمَمِ مُحَدَّثُونَ ، فَإِنْ يَكُنْ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ، فَعُمَرُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Among the previous nations there were some people who were Muhaddath (those who received inspiration from Allah); if there is any such person in my Ummah, it is Umar.
