#2462 It was
narrated from Ma’dan bin Abu Talhah Al-Ya’muri that ‘Umar bin
Khattab stood up to deliver a sermon one Friday, or he addressed them
one Friday. He praised and glorified Allah, and said:
“By Allah, I
am
not leaving behind any problem more difficult than the one who
leaves
behind an heir. I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he
never
spoke so harshly to me about anything as he spoke to me about
this. He
jabbed his finger into my side or my chest and said: ‘O
‘Umar,
sufficient for you is the Verse that was revealed in summer,
at the
end of Surat An-Nisa’.”
