"Umar (رضي الله عنه) said: “May Allah make you happy all your life, O Messenger of Allah.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "I wonder at these women who were with me. When they heard your voice they hastened to conceal themselves.” ʼUmar said: “O Messenger of Allah, you are more deserving of being feared.” Then ‘Umar said: “O enemies of your souls, do you fear me and you do not fear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?” They said: “Yes, for you are harsher and tougher than the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, the Shaitan never meets you on a road but he takes a different road."

A man will be tested according to his level of religious commitment: if his religious commitment is solid, his test will be greater and if there is some weakness in his religious commitment his test will be lighter. A slave [of Allah] will be tested until he walks upon the face of the earth with not a single sin on him."

He said: “No." I said: One third? He said: "One third, and one third is a lot. If you leave your heir independent of means, that is better than leaving him poor and having to ask people [for help]. Whatever you spend on your family of maintenance you will be rewarded for, even the morsel that you lift to your wife"s mouth.” On that day he only had one daughter.

He said: You have asked Allah for a great deal of good and you have sought refuge with Allah from a great deal of evil. But I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:"There will be people who will overstep the mark in du"a".“ And he recited this verse: "Call on your Lord with humility and in private: for Allah loves not those who trespass beyond bounds" [al-A"raf 7:55]. It is sufficient to say: O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and the words and deeds that will bring me close to it, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and the words and deeds that will bring me close to it.
