Mansur ibn Abi Muzahim narrated to us, Ibrahim—meaning Ibn Sa'd—narrated to us. H. And Hasan al-Hulwani and 'Abd ibn Humayd narrated to us; 'Abd said: informed me, and Hasan said: narrated to us Ya'qub—and he is Ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd—my father narrated to us, from Salih, from Ibn Shihab: 'Abd al-Hamid ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd informed me that Muhammad ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas informed him that his father Sa'd said: 'Umar sought permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while there were women of Quraysh with him speaking to him and asking much of him, their voices raised. When 'Umar sought permission, they hurriedly veiled themselves. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, gave him permission, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was laughing. 'Umar said: "May Allah keep your teeth smiling, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I marveled at these women who were with me—when they heard your voice, they hurriedly veiled themselves." 'Umar said: "Then you, O Messenger of Allah, are more deserving that they should stand in awe of you." Then 'Umar said: "O enemies of their own souls, do you stand in awe of me but not of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?" They said: "Yes, for you are harsher and more severe than the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, Satan has never met you treading a path without taking a path other than your path."
