The sayings of Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم:
I entered into Paradise. There I saw a palace. I inquired, ‘Whose palace is this?’ Angel replied,
‘‘Umar’s.’ I wished to enter it to have a view of it but (O ‘Umar) I avoided for the sake of your
modesty. Listening to it, Sayyidunā ‘Umar عَـنْهُ تَعَالٰی اللهُرَضِىَ said, ‘O Prophet of Allah! My parents be
sacrificed for you, how can I consider any reservations in your case?’
