Volume 6, Book 60, Number 164:
Narrated Abu Ad-Darda:
There was a dispute between Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, and Abu Bakr made Umar angry. So ‘Umar left
angrily. Abu Bakr followed him, requesting him to ask forgiveness (of Allah) for him, but ‘Umar re –
fused to do so and closed his door in Abu Bakr’s face. So Abu Bakr went to Allah’s Apostle while we
were with him. Allah’s Apostle said, “This friend of yours must have quarrelled (with somebody).” In
the meantime ‘Umar repented and felt sorry for what he had done, so he came, greeted (those who
were present) and sat with the Prophet and related the story to him. Allah’s Apostle became angry
and Abu Bakr started saying, “O Allah’s Apostle! By Allah, I was more at fault (than Umar).” Allah’s
Apostle said, “Are you (people) leaving for me my companion? (Abu Bakr), Are you (people) leaving
for me my companion? When I said, ‘O people I am sent to you all as the Apostle of Allah,’ you said,
‘You tell a lie.’ while Abu Bakr said, ‘You have spoken the truth .”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 180:
Narrated Humaid bin ‘Abdur-Rahman:
Abu Huraira said that Abu Bakr sent him during the Hajj in which Abu Bakr was made the chief
of the pilgrims by Allah’s Apostle before (the year of) Hajjat al-Wada in a group (of announcers) to
announce before the people; ‘No pagan shall perform the Hajj after this year, and none shall perform
the Tawaf around the Ka’ba in a naked state. Humaid used to say The Day of Nahr is the day of Al-
Hajj Al-Akbar (the Greatest Day) because of the narration of Abu Huraira.

‘Uyaina bin Hisn bin Hudhaifa came and stayed with his nephew Al-Hurr bin Qais who was one
of those whom ‘Umar used to keep near him, as the Qurra’ (learned men knowing Qur’an by heart)
were the people of ‘Umar’s meetings and his advisors whether they were old or young. ‘Uyaina said
to his nephew, “O son of my brother! You have an approach to this chief, so get for me the permis –
sion to see him.” Al-Hurr said, “I will get the permission for you to see him.” So Al-Hurr asked the
permission for ‘Uyaina and ‘Umar admitted him. When ‘Uyaina entered upon him, he said, “Beware!
O the son of Al-Khattab! By Allah, you neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with
justice.” Thereupon ‘Umar became so furious that he intended to harm him, but Al-Hurr said, “O
chief of the Believers! Allah said to His Prophet: “Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; and
leave (don’t punish) the foolish.” (7.199) and this (i.e. ‘Uyaina) is one of the foolish.” By Allah, ‘Umar
did not overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him; he observed (the orders of) Allah’s
Book strictly.

Narrated Abu Said bin Al-Mu’alla:
While I was praying, Allah’s Apostle passed me and called me, but I did not go to him until I had
finished the prayer. Then I went to him, and he said, “What prevented you from coming to me?
Didn’t Allah say:– “O you who believe! Answer the call of Allah (by obeying Him) and His Apostle

when He calls you?” He then said, “I will inform you of the greatest Sura in the Qur’an before I leave
(the mosque).” When Allah’s Apostle got ready to leave (the mosque), I reminded him. He said, “It is:
‘Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.’ (i.e. Surat-al-Fatiha) As-sab’a Al-Mathani (the seven re –
peatedly recited Verses).”
