Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Abi Malikah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Rabi’ah was among the best people who used to attend to Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Rabi’ah narrates that Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) recited « سورۃ النحل » on the pulpit on the day of Jumu’ah, and when he reached the verse of prostration, he said: “O people, we are passing by a verse of prostration, so whoever performs the prostration has done the right and good thing. And whoever does not perform the prostration, there is no sin upon him.” And he himself did not perform the prostration.
