Umar's Protective Jealousy Over His Wife
Ibn ʿUmar (may Allāh be pleased with him) reported: قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: Abū Mūsá al-Ashʿarī gave a mat to ʿUmar’s wife ‘Aatikah b. Zayd, and I think that it was one cubit and a handspan. " أَهْدَى أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ لِامْرَأَةِ عُمَرَ عَاتِكَةَ بِنْتِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ طُنْفُسَةً أَرَاهَا تَكُونُ ذِرَاعًا وَشِبْرًا، ʿUmar entered saw it with her and said, “Where did you get this from?” فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا عُمَرُ فَرَآهَا فَقَالَ: أَنَّى لَكِ هَذِهِ؟ She replied: “Abū Mūsá Al-Ashʿarī gave it to me.” فَقَالَتْ: أَهْدَاهَا لِي أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ، ʿUmar took it and hit her with it, then he said, “Bring Abū Mūsá to me.” فَأَخَذَهَا عُمَرُ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا رَأْسَهَا حَتَّى نَغَضَ رَأْسَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: عَلَيَّ بِأَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ وَأَتْعِبُوهُ، So he was brought to him and he (Abū Mūsá Al-Ashʿarī) said, “Do not be hasty, O’ Amīr al-Muʾminīn (Leader of the believers).” قَالَ: فَأُتِيَ بِهِ قَدْ أُتْعِبَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: لَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيَّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، ʿUmar said, “What made you give gifts to my womenfolk?” فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: مَا يَحْمِلُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَهْدِيَ لِنِسَائِي؟ Then ʿUmar took it and hit him with it, and said, “Take it, we have no need for it.” ثُمَّ أَخَذَهَا عُمَرُ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ، وَقَالَ: خُذْهَا فَلَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيهَا " Ibn Saʿd, al-Ṭabaqāt al-Kubrá 3/308 ابن سعد، الطبقات الكبرى ط دار صادر ٣/٣٠٨ http://shamela.ws/browse.php/book-9351/page-4432 Facebook: https://facebook.com/aljadwal1 Instagram: https://instagram.com/al_jadwal Telegram: https://t.me/aljadwal Tumblr: https://al-jadwal.tumblr.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/al_jadwal
