THE LIVES OF THE SAHABAH ma-5 (Vol-3) 221
Hadhrat Hasan narrates that a man approached Hadhrat Umar = saying, "0
Ameerul Mu'mineen! 1 am a man from the countryside and have many duties to
tend to. Do advise me to do something that I can trust in to convey me (to
Jannah)." Hadhrat Umar -j said to him, "Give me your hand and'understand
me well." When the man gave him his hand, Hadhrat Umar ?BZ&!&j said, "You
should worship Allaah without ascribing partners to him, establish salaah, pay
the obligatory zakaah, perform Hajj, perform Umrah and obey (your leaders). You
should also look only at the apparent actions of people and beware not to probe
their private lives. Do
-
every such deed that will not embarrass you when the news
~f it spreads amongst people and stay away from every such act that will be a
cause of embarrassment and disgrace when the news reaches others."
"0 Arneerul Mu'mineen!" the man said, "1 shall practise on this advice and when I
meet my Rabb, I shall say, 'It was Umar bin Khattaab who told me to do this."' To
this, Hadhrat Umar remarked, "Hold fast to this and when you meet your
Rabb, you may tell Him whatever you like."
