Remarkable Facts on Sahaba's

(this was already posted in another thread, but is best here)

sahih al bukhari - hadith 3431, The Book of the Companions of the Prophet

Umar bin Al-Khattab asked the permission of Allah's Apostle to see him while some Quraishi women were sitting with him, talking to him and asking him for more expenses, raising their voices above the voice of Allah's Apostle.

When 'Umar asked for the permission to enter, the women quickly put on their veils. Allah'› Apostle allowed him to enter and 'Umar came in while Allah's Apostle was smiling, 'Umar said "O Allah's Apostle! May Allah always keep you smiling." The Prophet said, "These women who have been here, roused my wonder, for as soon as they heard your voice, they quickly put on their veils. "'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have more right to be feared by them than I." Then 'Umar addressed the women saying, "O enemies of yourselves! You fear me more than you do Allah's Apostle ?" They said, "Yes, for you are harsher and sterner than Allah's Apostle." Then Allah's Apostle said, "O Ibn Al-Khattab! By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Never does Satan find you going on a way, but he takes another way other than yours."

Mashâ'Allâh, great info.. Keep 'em coming inshâ'Allâh.. JazakAllâh..

Hadith of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)

Regarding the black stone, hajr-e-aswad, there is a hadith (tradition), attributed to the illustrious companion of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh), Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).

According to Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, book of Hajj, chapter 56, H.No. 675. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit nor harm. Had I not seen the Prophet (pbuh) touching (and kissing) you, I would never have touched (and kissed) you".

For some reason, I really enjoy this hadith, one of my favourites.

thought id share the following.

This incident takes place during the opening of jerusalem in Umar (ra) caliphate..........

".......Over the years Bilal had risen in strature as a saintly muslim, and had become the most closeset and venerated companions of the prophet. But on his death bilal had fallen silent; he would not call adhan anymore.

It now occured to some of the companions that perhaps the conquest of the holy city jerusalem was an important enough occasion for bilal to break his silence. they asked Umar to urge him to call adhan, just this one time! Umar turned to Bilal " O bilal! the companions of the messenger of Allah implore you to call the adhan and remind them of the time of their prophet, on whom be the blessings of Allah and peace."

For a few moments Bilal remained lost in thought. Then he looked at the eager faces of the companions and at the thousands of muslim soldiers who were gathering for the congregational prayer. then he stood up. Bilal would call the adhan again!

The glorious voice of the illustrious Mu'azzin beat upon the vast multitude. As he called the opening words, Allah is Great, the minds of the faithful turned to memories of the dearly loved Muhamad and tears welled in their eyes. When Bilal came to the words, Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah, his audience broke down and sobbed............"

Subhanallah,this made me cry.I always think that Bilal RA was the luckiest man on planet Earth.He was a Black slave but no man can counter his status Subhanallah.He made All his nation proud.Jazakallahu Khyran for sharing,Respected brother.
I read that Bilal RA went back to his country after the Death of Muhammad SAW and after some time when he came back,people of Madina asked him to call the Adhan.Bilal RA refused and said that He only call prayer at the time of Muhammad SAW and He always watch the lightening face of Muhammad SAW after calling the Adhan.People of Madina asked The noble grand sons of Muhammad SAW,Hassan RA and Hussein RA to ask Bilal RA to call prayer.Bilal RA was unable to refuse them and he called the adhan.The people of Madina all came out of their houses and remeber the Precious times of Muhammad SAW.When Bilal RA came to the words,"Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah SWT,He burst into tears and fainted.When he woke up,He went back to Habasha and never returned again.
Subhanallah,such honorable and lucky people.


And i love all the Ahadiths shared above specially Ahadith about Respected Umar RA.I respect him and love him the most.Subhanallah.And all the noble companions are more precious to me than my life.Please keep sharing the precious ahadiths.May Allah SWT reward you all.Amen.

Assalam Alekum.

I read this Hadith about Umar RA on a web page.Please tell me if this in Tirmidhi??

Prophet Muhammad SAW said.

"If some else Prophet should have been proposed by ALLAH after me, would have been Umar bin Khattab. (Tirimzi)"

I have this app called stories of the Sahabahs but I'm not sure if I could related their stories to this thread as e author doesn't mention any sources although I found to be familiar

In that case, the name of the author and book title should suffice.

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates :-

the Prophet (may Allah's Blessings and Peace be upon him) said to Bilal:-


"Tell me~ Bilal! of your most hopeful action since your acceptance of Islam~
because
I have heard the echo of your footsteps in Paradise in front of me?"


Bilal replied:-
"I do not consider any of my actions more hopeful (of acceptance from Allah) than that whenever I have made my ablutions (Wudu) during the day or night I have each time offered by way of prayer that which Allah has made easy for me."


Source:-{ Bukhari Book #21, Hadith #250) & Muslim}


Notes:-
No One knew about this action except Bilal . . . . and Allah.

And look how great Allah's Reward was . . .

Do any of us have an action that ONLY Allah knows we are doing?

This is what truly makes an action special . . .
when you are so sincere that you seek
only the Pleasure of Allah.

Give away something you absolutely love, wake up at night to pray, visit an orphanage, give out some charity, really forgive someone who hurt you, submit to Allah's Decree in something you don't like. . .
or like Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) pray 2 rak'aats each time you make wudu . . . and keep it "a secret" between only you and Allah.

Then, on the Day that you finally meet Him, you will have something special to present to Him . . . something you can be sure was sincerely for
His Pleasure.

Really inspiring lecture about Bilal(ra), what an inspiration his life is.

Umar(ra) was an amazing man, another truly inspiring Sahaba(ra).

His letter to his generals in regards to war -



His famous letter to the river Nile (to overflow and abolish the practice of female human sacrifice) -
