Volume 6, Book 60, Number 193:
Narrated Umar bin Al-Khattab:
When ‘Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul died, Allah’s Apostle was called in order to offer the funeral
prayer for him. When Allah’s Apostle got up (to offer the prayer) I jumped towards him and said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! Do you offer the prayer for Ibn Ubai although he said so-and-so on such-and-such-
a day?” I went on mentioning his sayings. Allah’s Apostle smiled and said, “Keep away from me, O
‘Umar!” But when I spoke too much to him, he said, “I have been given the choice, and I have chosen
(this) ; and if I knew that if I asked forgiveness for him more than seventy times, he would be for giv –
en, I would ask it for more times than that.” So Allah’s Apostle offered the funeral prayer for him and
then left, but he did not stay long before the two Verses of Surat-Bara’a were revealed, i.e.:– ‘And
never (O Muhammad) pray for anyone of them that dies…. and died in a state of rebellion.’ (9.84)
Later I was astonished at my daring to speak like that to Allah’s Apostle and Allah and His Apostle
know best.

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 214:
Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
I gave a horse to be used in Allah’s Cause, but later on I saw it being sold. I asked the Prophet
whether I could buy it. He said, “Don’t buy it and don’t take back your gift of charity.”

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 809:
Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine Inspiration during the lifetime of Al –
lah’s Apostle but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds
you practice publicly, so we will trust and favor the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we
will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, for Allah will judge him for that;
but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an evil deed even if he claims that his
intentions were good.

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 792:
Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
I gave a horse in Allah’s Cause. The person to whom it was given, did not look after it. I intended to
buy it from him, thinking that he would sell it cheap. When I asked the Prophet he said, “Don’t buy it,
even if he gives it to you for one Dirham, as the person who takes back what he has given in charity,
is like a dog that swallows back its vomit.”

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 706:
Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
The Prophet said, “The (reward of) deeds depend on intentions, and every person will get the re –
ward according to what he intends. So, whoever migrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his migra –
tion will be for Allah and His Apostle, and whoever migrated for worldly benefits or for marrying a
woman, then his migration will be for what he migrated for.” (See Hadith No. 1, Vol. 1)

Volume 3, Book 41, Number 601:
Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
I heard Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to that of mine.
Allah’s Apostle had taught it to me (in a different way). So, I was about to quarrel with him (during
the prayer) but I waited till he finished, then I tied his garment round his neck and seized him by it
and brought him to Allah’s Apostle and said, “I have heard him reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way
different to the way you taught it to me.” The Prophet ordered me to release him and asked Hisham
to recite it. When he recited it, Allah s Apostle said, “It was revealed in this way.” He then asked me to
recite it. When I recited it, he said, “It was revealed in this way. The Qur’an has been revealed in sev –
en different ways, so recite it in the way that is easier for you.”

Volume 3, Book 31, Number 175:
Narrated Umar bin Al-Khattab:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When night falls from this side and the day vanishes from this side and the
sun sets, then the fasting person should break his fast.”

Volume 2, Book 23, Number 447:
Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
When ‘Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul died, Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) was called upon to offer his fu –
neral prayer. When Allah’s Apostle stood up to offer the prayer, I got up quickly and said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! Are you going to pray for Ibn Ubai and he said so and so on such and such occasions?” And
started mentioning all that he had said. Allah’s Apostle smiled and said, “O ‘Umar! Go away from me.”
When I talked too much he said, “I have been given the choice and so I have chosen (to offer the
prayer). Had I known that he would be forgiven by asking for Allah’s forgiveness for more than sev –
enty times, surely I would have done so.” (‘Umar added): Allah’s Apostle offered his funeral prayer
and returned and after a short while the two verses of Surat Bara’ were revealed: i.e. “And never (O

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 23: FUNERALS (AL-JANAA’IZ)
Muhammad) pray for any of them who dies . . . (to the end of the verse) rebellion (9.84)” — (‘Umar
added), “Later I astonished at my daring before Allah’s Apostle on that day. And Allah and His Apostle
know better.”
