{Nor is it the word of a soothsayer (or a foreteller), little is that you remember! This is the Revelation sent
down by the Lord of the `Aalameen (mankind, Jinn and all that exists). And if he (Muḥammad) had forged a
false saying concerning Us (Allaah), We surely should have seized him by his right hand, And then certainly
should have cut off his life artery (Aorta), And none of you could withhold Us from (punishing) him.} [Surah al-
Ḥaaqqah (69): 42-47]
`Umar then said: ‘I felt an overwhelming attraction to Islaam.’
[Musnad Aḥmad (107). Its chain is “Ḍha`eef” as it is “Munqati`” (interrupted). Shuraih Ibn `Ubaid did not meet
`Umar. Al-Haithamee said in “al-Majma`” (9/62): “This was reported by al-Ṭabaraanee in “al-Awsat”, and its
narrators are reliable, except that Shuraih Ibn `Ubaid did not meet `Umar.” Al-Haithamee overlooked that this
narration is also mentioned in Musnad Aḥmad.]
The fourth narration: Regarding the conversion of `Umar رضي اهلل عنه and how he received the title: “Al-Faarooq”
Ibn al-`Abbaas هللا ُ عنهما ُ narrated that he had asked `Umar Ibn al-Khaṭṭaab رضيُ‏ هللا ُ عنه why he had been given the
رضي
title of al-Faarooq (he who distinguishes truth from falsehood), he replied: “Hamzah preceded me embracing
Islaam by three days. Then Allaah expanded my chest for Islaam, and I said: ‘Allaah, there is no one worthy of
worship except Him. To Him belongs the Most Beautiful Names.’ After this, there was no one, on this earth, more
‏’?ﷺ I inquired: ‘Where can I find the Messenger of Allaah ‏’.ﷺ beloved to me than the Messenger of Allaah
My sister said: ‘He is in Daar al-Arqam, near al-Ṣafaa.’ I went to that house and Hamzah was sitting with his
associates and the Messenger of Allaah inside the house. I knocked at the door, and the people (inside the house)
ﷺ gathered together. Hamzah said: ‘What is the matter?’ They replied: ‘It is `Umar!’ The Messenger of Allaah
came out and grabbed `Umar by the place where his cloak joined (i.e. at the waist), and gave him a strong pull
and said: ❝Will you not abstain now, O `Umar?❞ `Umar said: ‘I testify that none has the right to be worshiped
except Allaah alone, without partners, and I testify that Muḥammad is His Slave and Messenger.’ The people in
the house exclaimed: “Allaahu Akbar!” It was so loud that the people in al-Masjid (al-Ḥaraam) also heard it. Then I
asked the Prophet ‏:ﷺ ‘Aren't we on the right path here and in the Hereafter?’ The Prophet ﷺ answered: ❝
Of course you are! I swear by Allaah in Whose Hand my soul is, that you are right in this world and in the
hereafter.❞ I, therefore, asked the Prophet ‏:ﷺ ‘Why we then had to conduct clandestine activism. I swear by
Allaah Who has sent you with the Truth, that we will leave our concealment and proclaim our noble cause
publicly.’ We then went out in two groups, Hamzah leading one and I the other. We headed for al-Masjid (al-
Ḥaraam) in broad daylight when the polytheists of Quraish saw us, their faces went pale and got incredibly
depressed and resentful. On that very occasion, the Prophet ﷺ attached to me the epithet of al-Faarooq.”
[This was narrated by Abu Nu`aim in “al-Ḥilyah” (1/40) from the route of Is-ḥaaq Ibn `Abdullaah, from Abaan Ibn
Ṣaaleh, from Mujaahid, from Ibn `Abbaas. Shaikh al-Albaanee said: “Is-ḥaaq Ibn `Abdullaah – and he is Ibn Abee
Farwah – is “Matrook, Shadeed al-Ḍha`af” (abandoned, and extremely weak). [See “al-Ḍha`eefah (7/64)]
In “al-Ḍha`eefah” (6531), Shaikh al-Albaanee graded this Ḥadeeth as “Munkar” (denounced). Al-Bukhaaree said:
“He was abandoned”. Imaam Aḥmad said: “I do not accept narrations from him.” Some declared him as a liar.]
The fifth narration: Did `Umar bury his daughter alive?
