Sahih al-Bukhari 4111 (Book 64, Hadith 327)
Some of them said (to `Umar), “Why do you allow this young man to enter with us, while we have
sons of his own age? ” `Umar said, “You know what person he is.” One day `Umar called them and
called me along with them, I had thought he called me on that day to show them something about me
(i.e. my knowledge). `Umar asked them, “What do you say about (the Sura): “When comes the help of
Allah and the Conquest (of Mecca) And you see mankind entering the Religion of Allah (i.e. Islam) in
crowds. ‘So celebrate the Praises Of your Lord and ask for His forgiveness, Truly, He is the One Who
accepts repentance and forgives.” (110.1-3)
Some of them replied, “We are ordered to praise Allah and repent to Him if we are helped and granted
victory.” Some said, “We do not know.” Others kept quiet. `Umar then said to me, “Do you say
similarly?” I said, “No.” `Umar said “What do you say then?” I said, “This Verse indicates the
approaching of the death of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) of which Allah informed him. When comes the help of
Allah and the Conquest, i.e. the Conquest of Mecca, that will be the sign of your Prophet’s)
approaching death, so testify the uniqueness of your Lord (i.e. Allah) and praise Him and repent to
Him as He is ready to forgive.” On that, `Umar said, “I do not know about it anything other than what
you know.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 4111 (Book 64, Hadith 327)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
