Some of them make them amount to more than twenty.
Ibn Mardawayh narrated that Mujahid said: cUmar used to hold a view and Qur’an would be revealed with (confirmation of) it.
Ibn cAsakir narrated that cAli said: In the Qur’an there are some of the views of cUmar.
He narrated from Ibn cUmar as a marfuc [hadith\: When people said one thing and cUmar said another, the Qur’an would be revealed with the like of what cUmar said.
The two Shaykhs narrated that cUmar said: I agreed with my Lord in three things; I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, if only we were to take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer,’ and there was revealed, .. and take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer! (Qur’an 2:
125). I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, both good and bad people come to visit your wives; if only you would order them to wear hijabs! and the ayah of the hijab was revealed. The wives of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, united in jealousy, and so I said, ‘Perhaps his Lord, if he divorces you, will give him in exchange wives better than you, ... ’ and it was revealed just like that (with exactly the same words, see Qur’an 66: 5).
Muslim narrated that cUmar said, ‘I agreed with my Lord in three things: in the hijab, in the prisoners at Badr, and in the Station of Ibrahim.’ In this hadith is a fourth instance.
In at-Tahdhib of an-Nawawi, ‘The Qur’an was revealed in agreement with him on the prisoners at Badr, on the hijab, on the Station of Ibrahim and on the prohibition of wine.’ He added a fifth instance and its hadith is in the Sunan and the Mustadrak of al-Hakim that he said, ‘O Allah, make clear to us about wine with an explanation which relieves us from all doubt.’ Then Allah revealed its prohibition.
Ibn Abi Hatim narrated in his tafsir that Anas said: cUmar said, ‘I was in agreement with my Lord in four things: this ayah was revealed, “And certainly We have created man from an extraction of clay,” (Qur’an 23: 12) and when it was revealed I said, “So blessed be Allah the best of creators,” and then it was revealed, “So blessed be Allah the best of creators!” (Qur’an 95: 8). Here he mentioned a sixth instance. The hadith has another chain of transmission from Ibn cAbbas which I have narrated in at-Tafsir al-Musnad.
Then I saw in the book Fada’il al-Imamayn of Abu cAbdullah ash-Shaybani that he said, ‘cUmar agreed with his Lord in twentyone situations,’ and he mentioned these six (aforementioned). He augmented as a seventh the story of cAbdullah ibn Ubayy. I say:
Its hadith is in the sahih traditions from him (cUmar). He said, ‘When cAbdullah ibn Ubayy died, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace, was invited to perform the funeral prayer over him so he stood up for that. I lose up until I stood up close to his chest and said, “Messenger of Allah, is it over the enemy of Allah, Ibn Ubayy, who said one day such-and-such?” Then, by Allah, it wasn’t very long until it was revealed, “And do not pray over one of them ever . . (Qur’an 9: 84)
to the conclusion of the ayah! 8. ‘ They ask you about wine ...’ (Qur’an 2: 219) to the end of the ayah.
9. ‘O you who believe, do not approach the prayer..! (Qur’an 4: 43)
to the end of the ayah. I say that the two of them, along with the ayah from Al-Ma’idah, are one instance, and the three are in the preceding hadith.
10. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant liim peace, increased in seeking forgiveness for a people, cUmar said, ‘It is equal to them.’ Then Allah revealed, ‘It is equal to them whether you seek forgiveness for them ...’ (Qur’an 63: 2) to the end of the ayah. I say that this hadith has been narrated by at-Tabarani from Ibn cAbbas.
11. When he, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sought the advice of the Companions about the expedition to Badr, cUmar was in favour of the expedition and so it was revealed, Just as your Lord brought you out of your house by the truth ...’ (Qur’an 8: 5) to the end of the ayah.
12. When he, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sought the advice of the Companions with respect to the story of the slander (of CA’ ishah) cUmar said, ‘Who married you to her, Messenger of Allah?’ He said, ‘Allah.’ He said, ‘Do you think that your Lord would conceal a defect of hers from you? Glory be to You, this is huge slander!" (Qur’an 24: 16). Then the revelation came down just like that.
13. His story in the fast when he made love to his wife after waking from sleep (before the pre-dawn meal) — and that was forbidden in the beginning of Islam — and so it was revealed, ‘It is permitted to you on the night of the fa st...’ (Qur’an 2: 187) to the end of the ayah. I say that Ahmad narrated it in his Musnad.
14. His words, Exalted is He, ‘ Whoever is an enemy to Jibril. .1
(Qur’an 2: 97) to the end of the ayah. I say that Ibn Jarir and others narrated it from many different narrators the best of which is from cAbd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Layla that: A Jew met cUmar and said, ‘Jibril, whom your companion mentions, is an enemy to us.’ So cUmar said, ‘Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and His messengers and Jibril and Mika’il, then truly Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers.’ So it was revealed on the tongue of cUmar.
15. His words, Exalted is He, ‘ Then no! By your Lord, they do not believe ...’ (Qur’an 4: 65) to the end of the ayah. I say that its story has been narrated by Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Mardawayh from Abu’l-Aswad. He said: Two men brought a dispute to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace, and he gave judgement between them. The one who had judgement given against him said, ‘Let us go to cUmar ibn al-Khattab,’ and so the two of them went to him. The man said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave judgement in my favour against this man and he said, “Let us go to cUmar.’” cUmar said, ‘Is it like that?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ So cUmar said, ‘Stay where you are until I come out to you.’ Then he came out to them wrapping his sword in his garment and struck the one who had said, ‘Let us go to cUmar,’ and killed him. The other returned and said, ‘Messenger of Allah, cUmar killed - by Allah! - my companion.’ So he said, ‘I wouldn’t have thought that cUmar would have ventured to kill a believer.’ Then Allah revealed, ‘Then no! By your Lord they do not believe ...’ to the end of the ayah. He declared, there was to be no retaliation or compensation for the blood of the man and declared cUmar free from any wrong in his killing. There is another connected text that supports this story which I have related in at- Tafsir al-Musnad.
16. Seeking permission to enter. That was because his servant entered his room when he was sleeping and he said, ‘O Allah, lorbid entrance.’ Then the ayah of seeking permission to enter was revealed.
17. His saying about the Jews, ‘They are a confounded people.’ 18. His words, exalted is He, ‘Many of the first ones and many of the latter ones! (Qur’an 56: 39-40). I say that Ibn cAsakir narrated it in his Tarikh from Jabir ibn cAbdullah and that it is in the Asbab an-Nuzul.
19. The lifting (abrogation) of the recitation of, ‘The older man and the older woman when they commit adultery to the end of the ayah?
20. His words on the Day of Uhud when Abu Sufyan said, ‘Is soand- so among the people?” (Umar said) “We will not answer him,’ and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, agreed with him. I say that Ahmad narrated its story in his Musnad.
He said: And one joins to this what cUthman ibn Sacid ad-Darimi narrated in his book ar-Raddcala l-Jahmiyah by way of Ibn Shihab from Salim ibn “Abdullah that Kacb al-Ahbar said, ‘Woe to the king of the earth from the King of heaven.’ Then cUmar said, ‘Except for whoever takes himself to account.’ Kacb said, ‘By the One in Whose hand is my soul it is in the Tawrah. You have carried it on (the words of the verse) consecutively.’ Then cUmar fell prostrate.
Then I have seen in al-Kamil of Ibn cAdi by the route ofcAbdullah ibn Nafic - and he is weak - from his father from cUmar that Bilal used to say, when he called the adhan, ‘I witness that there is no god but Allah. Come to prayer.’ Then cUmar said to him, ‘Say after it, “I witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.’” The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Say as cUmar said.’
