1345 — Abū Muhammad Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Nājiya informed us: Abū Kurayb Muhammad ibn al-Alā narrated to us: Yūnus ibn Bukayr narrated to us, from al-Nafr Abū Umar, from Ikrima, from Ibn Abbās, that the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—said: “O Allah, strengthen Islam through Abū Jahl ibn Hishām or through Umar ibn al-Khattāb.” The next morning, Umar—may Allah be pleased with him—embraced Islam.
