Sahih al-Bukhari 4638 (Book 65, Hadith 366)
voices in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ) when a mission from Bani Tamim came to him. One of the two
recommended Al-Aqra’ bin Habeas, the brother of Bani Mujashi (to be their governor) while the other
recommended somebody else. (Nafi`, the sub-narrator said, I do not remember his name). Abu Bakr
said to `Umar, “You wanted nothing but to oppose me!” `Umar said, “I did not intend to oppose you.”
Their voices grew loud in that argument, so Allah revealed:
‘O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet.’ (49.2) Ibn Az-Zubair
said, “Since the revelation of this Verse, `Umar used to speak in such a low tone that the Prophet (ﷺ) had
to ask him to repeat his statements.” But Ibn Az-Zubair did not mention the same about his (maternal)
grandfather (i.e. Abu Bakr).
