I said: ‘اَنَا قُرَشِيٌّ  I am Qarashi.’

The angels humbly said: ‘لِرَجُلٍ مِّنْ اُمَّۃِ مُحَمَّدٍ  It is of a person from the Ummah of Sayyiduna Muhammad صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.’

I said: ‘اَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ I am Muhammadصَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.’

The angels humbly said: ‘ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ This palace belongs to Umar Bin Khattab رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ.’

The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘فَاَرَدْتُ اَنْ اَدْخُلَهُ فَاَنْظُرَ اِلَيْهِ،فَذَكَرْتُ غَيْرَتَكَ I wished to enter it to have a view of it but [O ‘Umar] I thought of your self-respect [and gave up the attempt].’

Listening to this, Sayyiduna Umar Farooq e A’zam رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ humbly said:
‘بِاَبِیْ وَاُمِّیْ  يَا رَسُولَ اللّٰہ،اَعَلَیْکَ  اَغَارُ Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! May my parents be sacrificed upon you. How can I think of my self-respect being offended by you?’ (Bukhari, Kitab Fazaail-e-Ashab-un-Nabi, vol. 5, pp. 385, Hadees 3709)

Salaam of Hoors (Heavenly maidens)

Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ narrates that Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: ‘During the journey of Mi’raaj, I entered a place called ‘بَیْدَخ’ in Paradise, which had tents of pearls, green emeralds and red rubies.

The Hoors said: اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَیۡکَ یَارَسُوۡلَ الله i.e. O Rasool of Allah Almighty! May peace be upon you.

I asked: O Jibraeel! What kind of voice is this?

He humbly replied: These are the veiled Hoors in the tents. They sought permission from Allah Almighty to present Salaam upon you. Allah Almighty gave them the permission. Upon this, they said: We are those who will remain pleased. We will never get angry. We are everlasting. We will never go away.
