Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ’s wife called out from inside: “O Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen! Give your companion the glad tidings of a son.”

As soon as he heard the word “Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen”, he got scared and moved a bit back out of humility. He رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ said: “Sit as you were sitting.” Then, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ gave the food pot to his wife and said: “Feed the woman to her fill.” After that, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ also gave food to that man to eat and said: “Come to me tomorrow morning. I will fulfil your needs.”

When he went to Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ the next morning, he
رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ initiated an allowance for his child and also granted him wealth etc.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! You have heard that how Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ carried out the welfare of a distressed person of the grieved Ummah of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ made the fire light up under his supervision. He رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ cooked food himself and arranged food for them. Thereafter, he رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ eased off their difficulty by taking out food himself and sending it to that woman through his wife.

Remember! He is the same Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ from whose shadow, even the Satan runs away. (Bukhari, Kitab Fazail As’haab-un-Nabi, Baab Manaqib ‘Umar Bin Al-Khattab, vol. 2, pp. 526, Hadees: 3683)

He is the same Farooq-e-A’zam رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ who was given the glad tidings of being a Heaven-dweller by the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

(Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 525, Hadees: 3679)

He is the same Farooq-e-A’zam for whom, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم supplicated in the following manner: “O Allah Almighty! Honour Islam through ‘Umar Bin Khattab.”

(Ibn-e-Majah, Kitab-us-Sunnah, Fazl ‘Umar, vol. 1, pp. 77, Hadees: 105)

He is the same Farooq-e-A’zam who used to stay up at nights and go out for visits to look after the orphans and helpless people.
