When `Umar asked permission to enter, all of them hurried \nto screen themselves the Prophet admitted `Umar and he entered, while the Prophet was smiling. \n`Umar said, \"May Allah always keep you smiling, O Allah's Apostle! Let my father and mother be \nsacrificed for you !\" The Prophet said, \"I am astonished at these women who were with me. As soon \nas they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves.\" `Umar said, \"You have more right, that \nthey should be afraid of you, O Allah's Apostle!\" And then he (`Umar) turned towards them and said, \n\"O enemies of your souls! You are afraid of me and not of Allah's Apostle?\" The women replied, \n\"Yes, for you are sterner and harsher than Allah's Apostle.\" Allah's Apostle said, \"O Ibn Al-Khattab! \nBy Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees you taking a way, he follows a way other \nthan yours!\"","english_grade":"Sahih","last_updated":null,"xrefs":""}
