A Concise Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

The supplication of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) for the guidance of ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and his conversion to Islam.
0:29
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad,
0:31
and al-Tirmidhi in his Jami‘ with a hasan (sound) chain of narration,
0:35
on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:
0:38
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
0:43
"O Allah, strengthen Islam with the one of these two men who is more beloved to You:
0:48
either Abu Jahl or ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattab."
0:52
The one more beloved to Allah was ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattab.
0:57
Al-Hakim also narrated in al-Mustadrak with a sahih (authentic) chain,
1:00
on the authority of the Mother of the Believers, ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:
1:05
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
1:09
"O Allah, strengthen Islam specifically with ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattab."
1:14
Al-Hakim narrated in al-Mustadrak with a hasan chain,
1:18
on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:
1:22
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
1:26
"O Allah, support the religion with ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattab."
1:30
What appears to be the case
1:31
is that Allah, the Glorified and Exalted, revealed to His Messenger (peace be upon him)
1:37
that Abu Jahl would not embrace Islam,
1:40
and that Allah, the Glorified, had not decreed his guidance.
1:43
Therefore,
1:45
the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) singled out ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) for guidance.
1:52
And Allah knows best.
1:54
The impact of the Prophetic supplication on ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).
2:04
The effects of the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) supplication
2:08
for the guidance of ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)
2:11
became apparent in his encounter with Layla bint Abi Hathma (may Allah be pleased with her).
2:17
He was remarkably gentle with her
2:20
as she was preparing to migrate to Abyssinia,
2:23
which was behavior uncharacteristic of ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) toward the Muslims,
2:28
for he had been one of the harshest people toward them.
2:32
Imam Ahmad narrated in Fada’il al-Sahaba,
2:35
and al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak with a hasan chain,
2:39
on the authority of Umm ‘Abd Allah bint Abi Hathma (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:
2:44
"By Allah, we were preparing to depart for the land of Abyssinia,
2:48
and ‘Umar had gone out for some of our needs,
2:51
when ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattab approached.
2:54
He stood over me while he was still in his state of polytheism,
2:57
and we had suffered much harm and severity from him.
3:02
He said, 'Are you departing, O Umm ‘Abd Allah?'
3:07
I replied, 'Yes, by Allah, we are going out into the land of Allah;
3:12
you have persecuted us and oppressed us,
3:15
until Allah grants us a way out.'
3:18
He said, 'May Allah be with you.'
3:21
I saw in him a tenderness I had never seen before.
3:25
Then he turned away, and I could see that our departure had saddened him."
3:30
She said: "Then ‘Amir returned from his errand,
3:35
and I said, 'O Abu ‘Abd Allah,
3:37
if only you had seen ‘Umar just now, and his tenderness and sadness for us.'
3:42
He asked, 'Are you hoping for his conversion to Islam?'
3:45
I replied, 'Yes.'
3:47
He said, 'He will not convert until the donkey of al-Khattab converts!'"
3:53
He said this in despair, due to the harshness and cruelty he had witnessed from him toward Islam.

4:18
If the longing of the worlds for one another grows long,
4:25
the longing for you has no fathomable extent.
4:32
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call to prayer is raised,
4:38
and as long as lips move in remembrance.
