Sa'd b. Waqqas reported that Umar sought permission from Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) to visit him when some women of the Quraish were busy in talking with him and raising their voices above his Voiee. When'Umar sought permission they stood up and went hurriedly behind the curtain. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) gave him permission smilingly. Thereupon 'Umar said: Allaah's Messenger, may Allaah keep you happy all your life. Then Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: I wonder at these women who were with me and no sooner did they hear your voice, they immediately went behind the curtain. Thereupon 'Umar said: Allaah's Messenger, you have more right that they should fear you. Then Umar (addressing the women) said: O ye enemies of yourselves, do you fear me and fear not the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam)? They said: Yes, you are harsh and strict as compared to the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). Thereupon, Allaah's Messenger (maysallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if satan would encounter you in the way he would certainly take a different way from that of yours. |
