Sahih al-Bukhari 3159 (Book 59, Hadith 103)
women who were talking to him and asking him for more financial support raising their voices. When
`Umar asked permission to enter the women got up (quickly) hurrying to screen themselves. When
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) admitted `Umar, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was smiling, `Umar asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! May
Allah keep you in happiness always.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “I am astonished at these women who were with
me. As soon as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen themselves.” `Umar said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! You have more right to be feared by them.” Then he addressed (those women) saying, “O
enemies of your own souls! Do you fear me and not Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ?” They replied. “Yes, for you are
a fearful and fierce man as compared with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).” On that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said (to `Umar),
“By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees you taking a path, he follows a path other
than yours.”
