Umar Continues To Hit Women Post Conversion - Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal & other Sunni Sources


Narrated Yazid from Hemad Ibn Salama from Alee Ibn Zaid from Yusuf Ibn Mehran from Ibn Abbas who said: 'When Uthman Ibn Madh’oon died, a woman said: "Blessed you are!" The Messenger of Allah (saw) looked at her annoyingly and said: "How do you know?!" She said: "O Messenger of Allah (saw) he was your knight and companion," whereupon he (saw) said: "By Allah, I am the Messenger of Allah and I do not know what will happen to me," and when Zainab daughter of the Messenger of Allah (saw) died, the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Join our pious friend the good one, Uthman Ibn Madh‘oon," whereupon the women started to cry, then Umar started to beat them with his whip, so the Messenger of Allah (saw) took his hand and said: "Leave them O Umar!" And then said to the women: "Do cry, but be careful not to whoop like Satan!" He continued: "When the eye weeps and the heart becomes sad for a person, it is from Allah the Almighty and of His mercy, and what comes from the hand and the tongue it is from the Satan."

Ahmad Ibn Hanbal:

When Ruqayyah daughter of the Messenger of Allah (saw) died, the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Join our good friend, Uthman Ibn Madh‘oon," whereupon the women started to cry. Then Umar started to beat them with his whip, whereupon the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Let them cry!" And then said to the women: "But be careful not to whoop like Satan!" And then continued: "When the eye weeps and the heart becomes sad for a person, it is from Allah the Almighty and of His mercy, and what comes from the hand and the tongue it is from the Satan." And then the Messenger of Allah (saw) sat to the side of the grave and Faatimah (s.a) was beside him crying, so the Messenger of Allah (saw) wiped the eyes of Faatima (s.a) with his garment, because of his mercy upon her.

There exists criticism regarding one of the sub-narrators, 'Alee bin Zaid bin Jadaan' with scholars having differences in opinions. Some have deemed him authentic, while others have deemed him weak. Ahmad Mohammmed Shakir has graded these narrations as Saheeh (Authentic). Ahmad Ibn Hanbal believed these narrations to be authentic and thus included it into his authentic works.

Hanbal Ibn Ishaq said: 'Our uncle (Ahmad) gathered us, me, Saleh and Abdullah. He taught us "Al-Musnad" and nobody else heard it in its complete form except us. And he (i.e. Ahmad Ibn Hanbal) said: "This book is what I compiled and picked from more that seven hundred and fifty thousand Hadeeths, whenever the Muslims argue about a Hadeeth of the Messenger of Allah (saw) you should turn to this book, if you find it in this book then it is true, and if not then it is not true."
(Al-Albani says): 'This is what Al-Hafiz Al-Madini in "Al-Khasaes" and Ibn Al-Jawzi in "Manaqib Imam Ahmad" have narrated through two chains from Hanbal, so it is firm and Saheeh 'Authentic.'

{يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ}

{O you who believe, do not proceed ahead of Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing} 
Holy Qu'raan {49:1}

If an individual regards Allah (swt) as his Lord, accepts Allah's Messenger (saw) as his guide and leader and is true in his belief, an attitude in which he passes his own judgements, gives his own independent opinions/views on matters without referring them to Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw) can never be adopted. Taking precedence of ones own views/opinions above that of Allah (swt) and His Messenger is one in which would lead mankind astray for it has been revealed in the Holy Qur'aan:
{وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلاَ مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْراً أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَـلاً مُّبِيناً }

{It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed into a plain error} 
Holy Qu'raan {33:36}

Thus a believer should not decide upon matters themselves by using their own initiative, but should look for guidance in Allah's (swt) Book and His Prophet's Sunnah concerning those matters. Clearly, Umar believed he was above the decree of Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saw). Had he truly believed he would never have carried out such actions!
