حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَهْشَلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: فَضَلَ النَّاسَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ (١) بِأَرْبَعٍ: بِذِكْرِ الْأَسْرَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِمْ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} [الأنفال: ٦٨] ، وَبِذِكْرِهِ الْحِجَابَ، أَمَرَ نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَحْتَجِبْنَ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ زَيْنَبُ: وَإِنَّكَ عَلَيْنَا يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، وَالْوَحْيُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْنَا فِي بُيُوتِنَا؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ} [الأحزاب: ٥٣] وَبِدَعْوَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَهُ: " اللهُمَّ أَيِّدِ الْإِسْلَامَ بِعُمَرَ " وَبِرَأْيِهِ فِي أَبِي بَكْرٍ، كَانَ أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ بَايَعَهُ (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that 'Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) had superiority over all people in four matters: ① Regarding the captives of the Battle of Badr, 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) advised that they be killed, and Allah revealed this verse in agreement with him: « ﴿لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللّٰهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ﴾ » [الأنفال: 68] ② Regarding the veil (hijab), 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) advised the pure wives to observe seclusion. Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O son of Khattab! Do you command us while revelation descends in our houses?" Upon this, Allah revealed this verse: « ﴿وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ﴾ » [الأحزاب: 53] "And when you ask them for anything, ask them from behind a curtain." ③ Regarding the Prophet's (ﷺ) supplication for him: "O Allah! Strengthen Islam through 'Umar." ④ Regarding Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), in terms of opinion, he was the first to pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him).
