Chapter: Superiority of Auliya' and their Marvels
Narrator:Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar
وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال: ما سمعت عمر رضي الله عنه يقول لشيء قط: إني لأظنه كذا إلا كان كما يظن. ((رواه البخاري))
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Never have I heard ‘Umar saying about something: "I think it to be so-and-so", but it proved to be as he had thought.
Cited in Riyad as-Salihin (No. 1510).
The Companions used to see ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) judging matters that were not clear or understandable to them. Then, afterwards, after these matters became clear, they would find out that ‘Umar's judgment regarding them was correct and in accordance with the way those matters unfolded in reality.
كان الصحابة يرون عمر يحكم على أمور لا تكون ظاهرة واضحة لغيره من الناس، ثم لما تتضح تلك الأمور يظهر أنَّ حكم عمر عليها قبل ظهورها كان موافقا لما وقعت وظهرت في الواقع.
