I would like to present all the statements in this thread about what the Messenger of ALLAAH (A*) (S+) had said about "umar ibn al_khaTTaab (R+) = (Umar al-Khattab).Many will be surprised how great his status is in the presence of ALLAAH (A*) and his Messenger (S+). I hope all brothers and sisters can dig deep into the knowledgeable mines of the 'ahaadiyth (hadiths) of the Messenger of ALLAAH (A*) (S+) and bring to the surface the treasures it contains inshaa allaah.

I will begin and quote three statements of the Messenger of ALLAAH (A*) (S+):

Hadith no:108 ibn Maajah
Narrated / Authority of: Abu Dhar
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: 'Allah has placed the truth on the tongue of Umar, and he speaks with that (truth).” (Sahih)

Hadith no:100 ibn Maajah
Narrated / Authority of: Awn ibn Abu Juhayfah that his father said:
“The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: Abu Bakr and Umar are the leaders of the mature people of Paradise, the first and the last, except for the Prophets and Messengers.” (Hasan)

ibn Maajah

"umar ibn al_khaTTaab may ALLAAH be pleased with him

Muhammad Al-Qurashiy Al-Amjadiy

[CamVideoQl]

The first hadiyth of the most authentic of books of 'ahaadiyth Sahih al-Bukhari is a report from "umar ibn al_khaTTaab (R+)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book one hadiyth one
1. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said on the minbar, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say,
'Actions are but judged according to intentions. Every man has what he intends. So whoever emigrates to gain something of this world or to marry a woman, his emigration is for that to which he emigrated.'"

[Morageort]

as_salaamu "alaykum Brother

Does the brother refer to for example how the following is written "umar ibn al_khaTTaab (R+) or the other text. I would appreciate if you let me know inshaa allaah.
That is the closest to the original Arabic one can get and it could be converted perfectly back into Arabic again.
e.g. Firstly Arabic does not have capital letters so we do not have to capitalize.
in Arabic there are only three vowels which can be either short or long

short = (a - i - u) long = (aa - iy - uw). When scholars transliterate they normally do not transliterate iy nor uw. In Arabic a y is employed to lengthen the i vowel and a w is employed to lengthen the u vowel.

So they would transliterate " 'aamiyn" as amin or aamin ameen amen aamiin whereas the correct would be 'aamiyn. Also distinctions must also be made between the letters 'alif 'amzah and "ayn

Allah would be allaah aameen would be 'aamiyn and abdullah would be "abdullaah. Three different pronunciations fully and correctly distinguished. Scholars would have no problem seeing the difference and the student or laymen would only gain right direrction and not be further misled.

The Messenger of ALLAAH (A*) (S+) was very strict with correct pronunciation as well as enunciation. The (*) after ALLAAH(*) is for (ta"aalaa) (most High and Higher) (multiplied).
The (S+) after the name of The Messenger of ALLAAH (A*) (S+) is for Sallallaahu "alayhi wa_sallam (blessings of ALLAAH upon him and the peace) (+) is for (and).
A small (s) is for the letter siyn and a big (S) is for the letter Saad. If they are not distinguished we can say the words of ALLAAH (*) incorrectly and end up subhaanallaah by sending curses. For example (radiyallaahu anhu = ALLAAH destroyed upon him) and (raDiyallaahu anhu = ALLAAH was pleased with him). If we do not distinguish the two letters daal (d) and Daad (D) we will end saying the wrong thing. May all learn and do the right thing inshaa allaah.

All advice and suggestions welcome from the brother.

Fitna Of Man

Virtues and Merits of the Prophet (pbuh) and his Companions Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 56 :: Hadith 786 Narrated Hudhaifa:


Once 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said, said, "Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah's Apostle regarding the afflictions?" Hudhaifa replied, "I remember what he said exactly." 'Umar said. "Tell (us), you are really a daring man!'' Hudhaifa said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'A man's afflictions (i.e. wrong deeds) concerning his relation to his family, his property and his neighbors are expiated by his prayers, giving in charity and enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil.' " 'Umar said, "I don't mean these afflictions but the afflictions that will be heaving up and down like waves of the sea." Hudhaifa replied, "O chief of the believers! You need not fear those (afflictions) as there is a closed door between you and them." 'Umar asked, "Will that door be opened or broken?" Hudhaifa replied, "No, it will be broken." 'Umar said, "Then it is very likely that the door will not be closed again." Later on the people asked Hudhaifa, "Did 'Umar know what that door meant?" He said. "Yes, 'Umar knew it as everyone knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated to 'Umar an authentic narration, not lies." We dared not ask Hudhaifa; therefore we requested Masruq who asked him, "What does the door stand for?" He said, "Umar."
*Note:Umar r.a was martyred,after that Uthman r.a became Khalifa,later he was martyred,and Ummah faced many difficulties,war between Sahaba etc.

Fasting Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 31 :: Hadith 119 Narrated Abu Wail from Hudhaifa:
Umar asked the people, "Who remembers the narration of the Prophet about the affliction?" Hudhaifa said, "I heard the Prophet saying, 'The affliction of a person in his property, family and neighbors is expiated by his prayers, fasting, and giving in charity." 'Umar said, "I do not ask about that, but I ask about those afflictions which will spread like the waves of the sea." Hudhaifa replied, "There is a closed gate in front of those afflictions." 'Umar asked, "Will that gate be opened or broken?" He replied, "It will be broken." 'Umar said, "Then the gate will not be closed again till the Day of Resurrection." We said to Masruq, "Would you ask Hudhaifa whether 'Umar knew what that gate symbolized?" He asked him and he replied "He ('Umar) knew it as one knows that there will be night before tomorrow, morning.

Praise of Sayyidna Umar (RA) in words of Hadrat Ali (Karam Allahu Wajahu)

Ibn Abu Mulaika reported: I heard Ibn 'Abbas as saying: Wlien 'Umar b. Khatab was placed in the coffin the people gathered around him. They praised him and supplicated for him before the bier was lifted up, and I was one amongst them. Nothing attracted my attention but a person who gripped my shoulder from behind. I saw towards him and found that he was 'Ali. He invoked Allah's mercy upon 'Umar and said: You have left none behind you (whose) deeds (are so enviable) that I love to meet Allah with them. By Allah, I hoped that Allah would keep you and your two associates together. I had often heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: I came and there came too Abu Bakr and 'Umar; I entered and there entered too Abu Bakr and 'Umar; I went out and there went out too Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and I hope and think that Allah will keep you along with them.
