KHALIFAH UMAR AL-KHATTAB WITH OLD OLD
One day the Caliph Umar Al-Khatab had just returned from a relationship to the land of Syria. As usual Saiyidina Umar would take a walk and look around the area to see the state of the common people to know for themselves their suffering. At this time Saiyidina Umar headed to a bad cottage inhabited by an elderly grandmother.
Saiyidina Umar went to the grandmother's house in disguise as an ordinary person. It has become the custom of Caliph Umar disguised himself as a layman because he wanted to see for himself the suffering experienced by his people and wanted to get the maklumat or the people's view of him.
Upon arriving at the grandmother's house the Khalifah greeted and said. "Have you ever heard about Umar?" the old woman replied "Reportedly Umar has just come back from Syria safely". The caliph said again "What is the opinion of grandmother about our caliph's". Grandmother replied "May Allah not reward him well". Umar asked again "Why did Grandma say that?".
Answer grandma "He is very far from his people. Since becoming a khalifah he has never visited my hut this let alone again give money ". Umar replied "How could he possibly know the state of grandmother while this place is far away" Grandma complained and said "Subhanallah! it is impossible for a khalifah not to know the state of his people even where they are. "
Hearing these words the Caliph Umar gasped and said in his heart "Woe me because all these people and grandmother know about me". Saiyidina Umar regretted while shedding tears. Saiyidina Umar said again "O grandmother, how are you going to sell Umar tyranny towards grandmother ?. I pity that Umar will die in hell. That's if grandma wants to sell it ". Grandmother said "Do not joke with me who is old this".
Umar's connection again "I'm not joking, I'm serious, how much grandma will sell it. I will redeem his sin, will my grandmother accept the money as much as 25 dinar price injustice against grandmother "while handed the money to the grandmother. "Thank you son, well do you think" said grandma while taking the money.
Meanwhile Saiyidina Ali Abu Talib and Abdullah bin Mas'ud crossed the area. Seeing the Caliph Umar was there, they also greeted. "Assalamualaikum ya Amirul Mukminin". hearing that utterance, you know the grandmother that the guest who was talking to her was Caliph Umar Al-Khatab. Frightened and trembling grandmother said "Masya Allah, woe me and forgive my grandmother on the grandmother's grandfather was Amir al-mu'minin. My grandmother has cursed the Caliph Umar before your own master. " Ranapan grandma has awakened Saiyidina Umar.
"No why Grandma, easy-easy God gave blessing to grandmother" said Saiyidina Umar. At that time Caliph Umar had opened his shirt and wrote the following description on his shirt.
"Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, With this Umar has redeemed his sins for his tyranny against a grandmother who felt himself tyrannized by Umar, since becoming a caliph so that he redeemed the sin with 25 dinars. With this if the woman accused Umar on the day of Mahsyar, then Umar is free and no longer connected ".
The statement was signed by Saiyidina Ali bin Abu Talib and witnessed by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. The clothes were handed over to Abdullah bin Mas'ud while saying "Keep this cloth and if I die put it into my shroud to be brought before God s.w.t.".
