Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ غُضَيْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ، قَالَ: مَرَرْتُ بِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ: نِعْمَ الْغُلَامُ. فَاتَّبَعَنِي رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، ادْعُ اللهَ لِي بِخَيْرٍ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَمَنْ أَنْتَ رَحِمَكَ اللهُ؟ قَالَ: أَنَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ، صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقُلْتُ: غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ، أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ لِي مِنِّي لَكَ قَالَ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ حِينَ مَرَرْتُ بِهِ آنِفًا يَقُولُ:، ، نِعْمَ الْغُلَامُ، وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: "إِنَّ اللهَ وَضَعَ الْحَقَّ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ بِهِ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

Ghudaif bin Harith says that once he passed by Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him), and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Ghudaif is an excellent young man." Then he met Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said, "Brother! Pray for my forgiveness." Ghudaif said, "You are a companion of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), and you are more deserving that you pray for my forgiveness." He replied, "I heard Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) say that Ghudaif is an excellent young man, and the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said that Allah Almighty has made the truth flow on Umar's tongue and heart."
