The Miracles of our Prophet (saas)

Umar's (ra) mar tyr dom

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Prophet (saas) once climbed
Uhud moun tain with Abu Bakr, 'Um ar, and 'Uth man. The
moun tain shook. The Prophet said (to the moun tain):
"Be firm, Uhud! For on you there are no more than a Prophet, a
Siddiq, two mar tyrs." 92

The books of the Sunnah tell us that one day the Prophet (saas) was
sit ting at the well of `Aris, with Abu Musa al-Ash`ari act ing as his
gate keep er. Abu Bakr al-Siddiq came and asked per mis sion to see
him, and the Messenger (saas) said: "Let him in, and give him the
glad tid ings of Paradise." Then `Umar came, and he said: "Let him
in, and give him the glad tid ings of Paradise." Then `Uthman came,
and he said: "Let him in, and give him the glad tid ings of Paradise
be cause of an af flic tion that will be fall him." (Reported by al-
Bukhari, Muslim, and al-Tirmidhi, Jami` al-Usul, 8/562, no. 6372.)
