ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab ibn Nufayl ibn ʿAbdu’l-ʿUzza ibn Riyah ibn Qarṭ ibn Razah ibn ʿAdi ibn Kaʿb ibn Lu’ayy, Amir al-Mu’minin, Abu Hafs, al-Qurashi, al-ʿAdawi, al-Faruq.

T mar ibn al-Khattab ibn Nufayl ibn cAbdu’l-cUzza ibn I I Riyah ibn Qart ibn Razah ibn cAdi ibn Kacb ibn Lu’ayy, V / Amir al-Mu’minin, Abu Hafs, al-Qurashi, al-cAdawi, al- Faruq.

Dia memeluk Islam pada tahun keenam kenabian ketika berusia dua puluh tujuh tahun, kata adz-Dzahabi.

He accepted Islam in the sixth year of prophecy when he was twenty-seven years old, says adh-Dhahabi.

An-Nawawi berkata: ʿUmar dilahirkan tiga belas tahun selepas peristiwa Gajah. Beliau termasuk dalam golongan bangsawan Quraisy, dan pada zaman Jahiliyyah beliau memegang peranan sebagai duta. Setiap kali berlaku peperangan di kalangan mereka atau antara mereka dengan kaum lain, Quraisy akan menghantar beliau sebagai duta, iaitu utusan. Apabila seseorang memanggil mereka untuk berhakim — selalunya dalam perkara berkaitan kedudukan atau keturunan — mereka juga menghantar beliau sebagai jawapan kepada panggilan itu.

An-Nawawi says: cUmar was born thirteen years after the Elephant, he was one of the nobility of Quraysh, and he had the role of ambassador in the Jahiliyyah; Quraysh, whenever war broke out among them or between them and others, would send him as an ambassador, i.e. a messenger, and when someone called them to judgement — often over a matter of standing or lineage - then they sent him as a response to that.

Dia memeluk Islam pada peringkat yang sangat awal, selepas empat puluh lelaki lain dan sebelas wanita. Ada yang mengatakan bahawa ia selepas tiga puluh sembilan lelaki dan dua puluh tiga wanita, dan ada yang mengatakan selepas empat puluh lima lelaki dan sebelas wanita. Tetapi hanya selepas dia memeluk Islam, Islam mula ditonjolkan secara terbuka di Makkah, dan kaum Muslimin bergembira dengannya.

He accepted Islam very early on, after forty other men and eleven women. Some say that it was after thirty-nine men and twenty-three women, and some say, after forty-five men and eleven women. But it was only after he accepted Islam that Islam was shown openly in Makkah and the Muslims rejoiced in him.

Beliau berkata: Dia adalah salah seorang dari golongan yang mendahului (masuk Islam) yang pertama, salah seorang daripada sepuluh orang yang disaksikan bahawa mereka termasuk ahli Syurga, salah seorang khulafa’ yang mendapat petunjuk, salah seorang daripada ipar Nabi ﷺ, salah seorang tokoh besar ilmu di kalangan para Sahabat, dan salah seorang daripada mereka yang zuhud.

He said: He was one of the outstripping first ones, one of the ten for whom it was witnessed that they were for the Garden, one of the khulafa’ who took the right way, one of the in-laws of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, one of the great men of knowledge of the Companions and one of their abstinent people.

Daripadanya diriwayatkan lima ratus tiga puluh sembilan hadis daripada Nabi ﷺ.

There are related from him five hundred and thirty-nine hadith from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.
