1352 — Abū Bakr Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Abd al-Hamīd al-Wāsitī ⦗1883⦘ narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Rizq Allah al-Kalwadhānī narrated to us, saying: Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us, saying: Al-Masūdī narrated to us, from al-Qāsim ibn Abd al-Rahmān, from Abd Allah ibn Masūd, who said, “Umar’s acceptance of Islam—may Allah be pleased with him—was a source of strength, his emigration was a victory, and his caliphate was a mercy. By Allah, we were unable to pray openly until Umar embraced Islam. I believe that Satan is terrified at the slightest sign of Umar’s approach, and I believe that before Umar—may Allah be pleased with him—is an angel who guides him aright. When the righteous are mentioned, hasten to mention Umar.”
