Hadith 5697

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَارِجَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ جَعَلَ الْحَقَّ عَلَى قَلْبِ عُمَرَ وَلِسَانِهِ " ، قَالَ : وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : مَا نَزَلَ بِالنَّاسِ أَمْرٌ قَطُّ فَقَالُوا فِيهِ ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، أَوْ قَالَ عُمَرُ ، إِلَّا نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى نَحْوٍ مِمَّا قَالَ عُمَرُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has made the truth flow upon Umar's heart and tongue." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that whenever any matter was presented before the people and the people had one opinion and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) had another opinion, then the Noble Qur'an would be revealed close to the opinion of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).
