Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: Babu wani mutum a doron ƙasa da ya fi so a wurina daga Umar.

Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, said: There is not on the face of the earth a man more beloved to me than cUmar.

Ibn ʿAsākir ya riwaito shi.

Ibn cAsakir narrated it.

Wani ya ce wa Abu Bakr a lokacin rashin lafiyarsa ta ƙarshe, "Me za ka ce wa Ubangijinka, idan ka naɗa Umar?" Sai ya ce, "Zan ce masa, 'Na naɗa musu mafi kyansu a cikinsu.'" Ibn Sa'd ne ya riwaito shi.

Someone said to Abu Bakr during his (last) illness, ‘What will you say to your Lord, when you have appointed cUmar?’ He said, ‘I will say to Him, “I have appointed over them the best of them.’” Ibn Sacd narrated it.

cAli, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: Idan an ambaci masu aiki da adalci, to a fara da cUmar. Ba mu ga abin mamaki ba cewa as-Sakinah (Kasancewar Allah) tana magana ta harshen cUmar.

cAli, may Allah be pleased with him, said: When the right-acting are mentioned then begin with cUmar. We did not think it unlikely that as-Sakinah (the Divine Presence) spoke with the tongue ofcUmar.

At-Tabarani ya rawaito shi a cikin al-Awsat.

At-Tabarani narrated it in al-Awsat.

Ibn cUmar, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: Ban taba ganin wani bayan Annabi ﷺ, tun daga lokacin da ya rasu, wanda ya fi fahimta kuma ya fi karimci cikin bayarwa fiye da cUmar. Ibn Sacd ne ya ruwaito shi.

Ibn cUmar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I have never seen anyone after the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, from the time he died, more perceptive and more liberally generous than cUmar. Ibn Sacd narrated it.

Ibn Mas'ud, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: Da a ce ilimin Umar za a sanya shi a gefe ɗaya na ma'auni, sannan a sanya ilimin kowane mai rai a bayan ƙasa a ɗayan gefen, to ilimin Umar zai fi nasu nauyi.

Ibn Mascud, may Allah be pleased with him, said: Even if the knowledge of cUmar were to be put in one scale of a balance and the knowledge of every living being on the earth were put in the other scale, the knowledge of cUmar would outweigh their knowledge.

Sun kasance suna da ra'ayin cewa ya tafi (watau ya rasu) tare da kashi tara cikin goma na ilimi. At-Tabarani ne ya ruwaito shi a cikin al-Kabir, al-Hakim kuma ya ruwaito shi.

Ihey used to hold the view that he had gone (i.e. died) with ninetenths of knowledge. At-Tabarani narrated it in al-Kabir, and al- Hakim narrated it.

Hudhaifah, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: "Kamar dai ilimin mutane an boye shi ne cikin fahimtar Umar."

Hudhayfah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: It is as if the knowledge of mankind was concealed in the understanding of 1 Umar.

Huzaifah, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: Wallahi, ban san wani mutum da zargin mai zargi, saboda Allah, ba zai rinjaye shi ba, sai dai Umar.

Hudhayfah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: By Allah, I do not know a man whom the blame of the one who blames, for the sake of Allah, does not overcome, except for cUmar.

ʿA'ishah, Allah ya yarda da ita, ta ce — ta kuma ambaci ʿUmar — "Ya kasance, wallahi! gwani wajen tafiyar da al'amura, babu wanda ya kai shi." Mu'awiyah, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: Game da Abu Bakr, bai so duniya ba, kuma duniya ba ta so shi ba. Game da ʿUmar kuwa, duniya ta so shi amma shi bai so ta ba. Game da mu kuwa, mun birkita a cikinta (kamar dabba a cikin turɓaya). Az-Zubayr ibn Bakkar ne ya ruwaito shi a cikin al-Muwaffaqiyat.

cA’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said — and she mentioned ‘Umar — ‘He was, by Allah! skilful in managing affairs, absolutely unique.’ Mucawiyah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: As for Abu Bakr, he did not want the world and it did not want him. As for ‘Umar, the world wanted him but he did not want it. As for us, we have rolled over in it (like an animal in the dust)'. Az-Zubayr ibn Bakkar narrated it in al-Muwaffaqiyat.

Jabir, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: 'Ali ya shiga wurin 'Umar — yana cikin lulluɓin kafan mutuwarsa — sai ya ce: "Rahamar Allah ta tabbata a kanka! Babu wanda zan fi so in haɗu da Allah da abin da yake cikin littafin ayyukansa (rikodin ayyukansa), bayan zumunci da Manzon Allah ﷺ, fiye da wannan mutumin da aka lulluɓe." Al-Hakim ne ya ruwaito shi.

Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, said: cAli entered upon "Umar — and he was shrouded - and said, ‘The mercy of Allah upon you! There is no-one I would prefer to meet Allah with that which is in his page (the record of his actions), after the companionship of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, than this shrouded one.’ Al-Hakim narrated it.

Ibn Mas'ud, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: Idan ana ambaton salihai, to ku fara da Umar. Lallai Umar ya fi kowa daga cikinmu sanin Littafin Allah, kuma ya fi kowa daga cikinmu fahimta a cikin addinin Allah, Maɗaukaki ne Shi. At-Tabarani da al-Hakim ne suka riwaito shi.

Ibn Mascud, may Allah be pleased with him, said: When the rightacting ones are remembered, then begin with cUmar. Truly cUmar was the most knowledgeable of us of the Book of Allah, and the most understanding (literally: having the most fiqhi) of us of the deen of Allah, exalted is He. At-Tabarani and al-Hakim narrated it.

Ibn ʿAbbās aka an tambaye shi game da Abu Bakr, sai ya ce: "Shi ne alheri, duka." An tambaye shi game da ʿUmar, sai ya ce: "Yana kama da tsuntsun da ke tsoro, wanda ke ganin cewa a kowace hanya akwai tarko da zai kama shi." An tambaye shi game da ʿAli, sai ya ce: "Yana da azama, hukunci mai kyau, ilimi da jaruntaka." Ya riwaito shi a cikin at-Tuyuriyyat.

Ibn cAbbas was asked about Abu Bakr and he said, ‘He was the good, all of it.’ He was asked about cUmar and said, ‘He was like the apprehensive bird which thinks that on every path there is a snare to catch it.’ He was asked about cAli and he said, ‘He was full of resolve, sound judgement, knowledge and valour.’ He narrated it in at-Tuyuriyyat.

A Tabarani ya ruwaito daga cUmayr ibn Rabicah cewa cUmar ibn al-Khattab ya ce wa Kacb al-Ahbar, 'Yaya kake ganin siffata?' Ya ce, 'Ina ganin siffarka a matsayin ƙahon ƙarfe.' Ya tambaya, 'Menene ƙahon ƙarfe?' Ya ce, 'Shugaba mai ƙarfi wanda, saboda Allah, zargin mai zargi ba ya rinjayarsa.' Ya ce, 'To me kuma?' Ya ce, 'Za a sami bayanka wani halifa wanda wata ƙungiya mai zalunci za ta kashe.' Ya ce, 'To me kuma?' Ya ce, 'Sannan za a sami fitina (jarrabawa).' Ahmad, al-Bazzar da at-Tabarani sun ruwaito cewa Ibn Mascud, Allah ya yarda da shi, ya ce: cUmar ibn al-Khattab ya fi mutane a abubuwa huɗu: al'amarin fursunonin ranar Badar, ya umarta a kashe su, sai Allah ya saukar da {Da ba don wani hukunci daga Allah wanda ya riga ya gabata ba...} (Alƙur'ani 8:68) har zuwa ƙarshen ayar; da kuma al'amarin hijabi, ya umarci matan Annabi ﷺ su rufe kansu, sai Zaynab ta ce masa, {Kai Ibn al-Khattab, da gaske kana kan mu, kuma wahayi yana sauka a cikin gidajenmu?} Sai Allah ya saukar da {Idan kuma kun roƙe su wani abu...} (Alƙur'ani 33:53) har zuwa ƙarshen ayar; da kuma addu'ar Annabi ﷺ, {Ya Allah, ka taimaki Musulunci da cUmar}; da kuma ra'ayinsa game da Abu Bakr, domin shi ne farkon wanda ya yi masa mubaya'a.

At-Tabarani narrated from cUmayr ibn Rabicah that cUmar ibn al-Khattab said to Kacb al-Ahbar, ‘How do you find my description?’ He said, ‘I find your description to be a horn of iron.’ He asked, ‘What is a horn of iron?’ He said, ‘A strong commander who, for the sake of Allah, the censure of the one who blames does not overcome.’ He said, ‘Then what?’ He said, ‘There will be after you a khalifah whom a wrongdoing group will kill.’ He said, ‘Then what?’ He said, ‘Then there will be the trial (affliction).’ Ahmad, al-Bazzar and at-Tabarani narrated that Ibn Mascud, may Allah be pleased with him, said: cUmar ibn al-Khattab excelled people in four: the affair of the prisoners on the Day of Badr, he ordered that they should be killed and Allah revealed, ‘I f it were not for a decree of Allah which had preceded... ’ (Qur’an 8:68) to the end of the ayah; and in the matter of the hijab, he ordered the women of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to veil themselves, so Zaynab said to him, ‘And really you are responsible over us Ibn al-Khattab, and the revelation descends upon us in our houses?’ So Allah revealed, ‘Then if you ask them for some item ...’ (Qur’an 33: 53) to the end of the ayah-, and by the supplication of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ‘O Allah, help Islam with cUmar’; and in his view of Abu Bakr, for he was the first one to pledge allegiance to him.

Ibn cAsakir ya ruwaito cewa Mujahid ya ce: Mun kasance muna cewa shaidanu an daure su, an kuma kulle su a lokacin mulkin cUmar, sa'annan a lokacin da aka buge shi sai suka watsu ko'ina.

Ibn cAsakir narrated that Mujahid said: We used to say that the shaytans were chained and shackled during the amirate of cUmar, then when he was struck they spread abroad.

Ya ruwaito cewa Salim ɗan cAbdullah ya ce: Labarin cUmar ya yi jinkiri wajen isa ga Abu Musa, sai ya tafi wajen wata mace wadda ke da shaiɗan a cikinta, ya tambaye ta game da shi. Ta ce: "Ka jira har shaiɗana ya zo mini." Sai ya zo, sai ta tambaye shi game da shi.

He narrated that Salim ibn cAbdullah said: News of cUmar was slow in reaching Abu Musa so he went to a woman who had a shaytan in her, and asked her about him. She said, ‘Wait until my shaytan comes to me.’ Then he came and she asked him about him.

Ya ce, "Na bar shi sanye da wani yanki na zane a matsayin tufafin kugu, yana shafa raƙuman sadaqah (zakka) da kwalta (don hana kaska ko kyanda)." "Kuma wannan mutum ne da shaidan ba ya gani, sai dai ya faɗi fuska kwance a kan hancinsa; mala'ika yana tsakanin idanunsa biyu, kuma Ruh al-Quds (Jibril) yana magana ta harshensa."

I le said, ‘I left him dressed with a piece of cloth as a waistwrapper, smearing the camels of the sadaqah (the zakat) with tar (against the mange or scab). And that is a man whom a shaytan does not see but t hat he falls flat on his nostrils; the angel is between his two eyes and the Ruh al-Quds (Jibril) speaks with his tongue.’

Sufyan ath-Thawri ya ce: Duk wanda ya yi iƙirarin cewa cAli yana da more haƙƙin shugabanci fiye da Abu Bakar da cUmar, to ya yi kuskure, kuma ya zargi Abu Bakar, cUmar, da dukkan Muhajirun da Ansar da yin kuskure.

Sufyan ath-Thawri said: Whoever claimed that cAli had more right to authority than Abu Bakr and cUmar has made a mistake and has accused Abu Bakr, cUmar and all the Muhajirun and the Ansar of making a mistake.

Sharik ya ce: Babu wanda a cikinsa akwai wani alheri da zai gabatar da Ali a gaban Abubakar da Umar.

Sharik said: No-one in whom there is any good advances cAli before Abu Bakr and cUmar.

Abu Usamah ya ce: Ka fahimci wane ne Abu Bakr da Umar?

Abu Usamah said: Do you grasp who Abu Bakr and cUmar were?

Ibey sune uba da uwar Musulunci.

Ibey were the father and mother of Islam.

Ja'far as-Sadiq ya ce: Ina barranta daga duk wanda ya ambaci Abu Bakr da 'Umar da wani abu face alheri.

Jacfar as-Sadiq said: I am quit of whoever mentions Abu Bakr and 'Umar with anything but good.
