Hadith 1472
Musnad Abu Ishaq Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas
It was narrated from Muhammad bin Sa"d bin Abi Waqqas that his father Sa"d bin Abi waqqas said:
"Umar (رضي الله عنه) asked for permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and there were some women of Quraish with him who were talking to him and asking too much of him and raising their voices. When ‘Umar (رضي الله عنه) asked permission to enter, they got up and hastened to conceal themselves. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave him permission to enter, so he entered and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was smiling. "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."
