Biography of Abdullah ibn Umar
Abdullah bin Omar bin Al-Khattab Abdullah bin Omar bin Al-Khattab Al-Qurashi Al-Adawi. His lineage is mentioned when his father is mentioned, Allah willing, his mother and the mother of his sister Hafsa: Zainab bint Mazun bin Habib Al-Jumahiyah (2). He converted to Islam with his father when he was young and did not reach puberty. It has been said that his conversion to Islam preceded his father's conversion to Islam. It is not valid, but his emigration was before his father's emigration, so some people thought that his conversion to Islam was before his father's conversion to Islam. They unanimously agreed that he did not witness Badr. the Prophet ﷺ belittled it and dismissed it. They differed as to whether anyone witnessed it, so Another report states: He witnessed it. Some reports state: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, returned it along with others who did not reach [the dream].
Reported by Ubaid Allah bin Ahmad bin Ali, on the authority of Ibn Ishaq, who said: Nafi' told me on the authority of Ibn Omar, he said: When Omar bin Al Khattab converted to Islam, he said: Which of the people of Mecca should I transmit the hadith to? They said: Jamil bin Muammar Al-Jumahi. So Omar went out and I went out after him. I was unable to understand everything I saw, until he came to him and said: O Beautiful, did you feel that I had converted to Islam? By Allah, he did not speak again until he stood up, dragging his cloak, and Omar went out following him. I was with him, until when he stood at the door of the mosque, he shouted: O people of Quraysh, Omar has fallen asleep. He said: You lied. But I converted to Islam..." He mentioned the hadith (3).
It is true that his first sighting was the Trench. He witnessed the Battle of Mu'tah with all of them, Jaafar bin Abi Talib. He witnessed Yarmouk, and the conquest of Egypt and Africa. He was a frequent follower of the actions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, to the point that he would go to his places and pray in every place where he prayed, and even when the Prophet ﷺ went down under a tree, and Ibn Umar used to wash it with water so that it would not dry out. Reported by Ismail bin Ali and others, on the authority of Ibn Umar, who said: I saw in a dream as if I had a piece of brocade in my hand. I would not point to a place in Paradise without it flying to it, so I told it to Hafsa, so Hafsa told it to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: "Your brother is a good man - or: Abdullah is a good man." (1) Al-Hafiz Abu Muhammad Al-Qasim bin Abi Al-Qasim Ali told us.
Reported by Ijaza said: My father, on the authority of Nafi', who said: Ibn Umar went out in some area of Medina, and his companions were with him. They placed The table was for him, so a shepherd passed by them and greeted him, and Ibn Omar said: Come, shepherd, and pour water from this table. He said to him: I am fasting. Ibn Omar said: Do you fast on such a hot and extremely toxic day, while you are in this condition looking after these sheep? He said: By Allah, I am wasting these empty days. Ibn Omar said to him - wanting to test his piety -: Can you sell us a sheep from this sheep of yours so that we can give you its price and give you some of its meat to break your fast with? He said: They are not mine, they are my master's sheep. Ibn Omar said to him: What will your master do if he loses it? Then the shepherd turned away from him, raising his finger to the sky, saying: Where is Allah?
He said: So Ibn Omar started repeating the shepherd's words, saying: "The shepherd said, 'So where is Allah?'" He said: When he came to Medina, he sent to his master. He bought the sheep and the shepherd from him, so he freed the shepherd and gave him the sheep. He said: My father told us, Abu Al-Maali Muhammad bin Ismail told us, Abu Bakr Al-Bayhaqi told us, Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz told us, Ahmad bin Sahl al-Faqih told us, Ibrahim bin Maqil told us, Harmala told us, Ibn Wahb told us, he said: Malik said: Ibn Umar stayed after the Prophet ﷺ for sixty years giving fatwas to people during the season and otherwise. Malik said: Ibn Umar was one of the imams of the Muslims. Reported by And my father, on the authority of Al-Sha'bi, who said: Ibn Umar was good in hadith, but he was not good in jurisprudence.
Ibn Omar was extremely cautious and careful of his religion in fatwas, and everything he took into his own mind, to the point that he abandoned the dispute over the caliphate despite the people of the Levant's great inclination towards him and their love for him. He did not fight in any of the strife. He did not witness any of his wars with Ali, when they became problematic for him. Then after that he regretted abandoning fighting with him.
Judge Abu Ghanem Muhammad bin Hibat Allah bin Muhammad bin Abi Jarada told us, my uncle Abu Al-Majd Abdullah bin Muhammad told us, Abu Al-Hasan Ali bin Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Abi Jarada told us, Abu Al-Fath Abdullah bin Ismail bin Ahmed bin Ismail bin Saeed told us, Abu Al-Nimr Al-Harith bin Abdul Salam bin Raghban Al-Homsi told us, Al-Hussein bin Khalawayh told us, Abu Bakr Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Abi Saeed Al-Bazzaz told us, Muhammad bin Al-Hussein bin Yahya Al-Kufi told us, Abu Nu'aym told us, Abdullah bin Ibn Habib told us, my father told me, he said: Ibn Omar said when death approached him: "I do not find in myself anything in this world except that I did not fight the transgressing group." It was included by Abu Omar. He added: "With Ali (2)." Jabir bin Abdullah used to say: "There are none of us except those who are favored by the world and who are guided by it, with the exception of Omar and his son Abdullah." Marwan bin Al-Hakam told him to pledge allegiance to him for the caliphate. He said to him: The people of the Levant want you.
He said: So what should I do with the people of Iraq? He said: You fight them. He said: By Allah, if all people obeyed me except the people of Fadak. If I fight them, one of them will be killed. I did not do that. So he left him. After the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he used to perform Hajj frequently. He gave a lot of charity, and perhaps thirty thousand were given in one gathering. Nafi' said: If Ibn Umar was very pleased with something of his wealth, he would offer it to his Lord, and his slaves would know that from him, so perhaps one of them would stay in the mosque, and if Ibn Umar saw him in that good condition, he would free him, and his companions would say to him: O Abu Abd al-Rahman, by Allah, they can only deceive you! Ibn Omar says: Whoever deceives us with Allah, we will be deceived by him.
Nafi' said: I saw us one evening, and Ibn Umar went to Najib (1) of whom he had taken some money. When he liked how he was doing, he took him to his place, then got off him and said: O Nafi', remove his reins and saddles from him, and (2) make him hair, and wrap him up and put him in the body. Nafi' said: Ibn Omar entered the Kaaba. I heard him while he was prostrating, saying: "You may know, O my Lord, what prevents me from competing with Quraysh for the world except your fear." Nafi' said: When Ibn Umar recited this verse: "Has not the time come for those who believe that their hearts should be humbled at the remembrance of Allah?" (3) he would cry until he was overcome by tears. Ibn Omar said: "Righteousness is a simple thing: a gentle face and soft speech." Ibn Omar narrated more on the authority of the Prophet ﷺ.
He narrated on the authority of Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman, Abu Dharr, Muadh bin Jabal, Rafi' bin Khadij, Abu Hurairah, and Aisha. Ibn Abbas, Jabir and Al-Aghar Al-Muzani among the Companions narrated from him. His sons, Salem, Abdullah, and Hamza, were narrated from him by the Followers. And Abu Salamah and Humaid, sons of Abdul Rahman. Musaab bin Saad, Saeed Al-Musayyab, Aslam, Omar's client, Nafi', his client, and many people. Reported by Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Abdul Qahir al-Tusi, on the authority of Ibn Umar, who said: "All An intoxicant is wine, and every intoxicant is forbidden, and whoever drinks alcohol in this world and dies while addicted to it, he will not drink it in the afterlife.
Reported by " (1) Abu Mansur Muslim bin Ali bin Muhammad Al-Sihi, on the authority of Abdullah bin Omar, who said: One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, took some of my body and said: "O Abdullah, be in this world as if you were a stranger or as if you were a passerby and count yourself among the people of the graves." Then he said to me: "O Abdullah bin Omar, for there is no dinar or dirham. Rather, they are good deeds and bad deeds, a reward for a reward, and retribution." With retaliation, and do not disown your child in this world, lest Allah disown you in the afterlife, and expose you to the witnesses. And whoever drags his garment out of arrogance, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection." Abdullah bin Omar died in the year seventy-three, three months after Ibn al-Zubayr was killed.
The reason for his killing was that Al-Hajjaj ordered a man to poison a spear (3) and crowd him on the road, and put the bottle on the back of his foot. Al-Hajjaj only did that because he gave a sermon one day and delayed the prayer, so Ibn Omar said to him: The sun is not waiting for you. Al-Hajjaj said to him: I was about to hit the one in which your eyes are! He said: If you do, then you are a fool and a ruler!. According to another account, Al-Hajjaj performed Hajj with Abdullah bin Omar, so Abdul Malik bin Marwan ordered him to follow Ibn Omar's example. Ibn Omar used to precede Al-Hajjaj in the stops at Arafat and elsewhere, and this was difficult for Al-Hajjaj, so he ordered a man with a poisoned spear to stick to Ibn Omar when pushing people away. He placed the spear on the back of his foot. He became ill from it for days, so Al-Hajjaj came to him to visit him. He said to him: Who did it? With you? He said: What are you doing?
He said: Allah will kill me if I do not kill him! He said: I don't see you doing it! You ordered the one who stabbed me with a spear! He said, "Don't do it, Abu Abd al-Rahman." He left him, stayed for several days, and died, and Al-Hajjaj prayed for him.
