What was that babble (26)
Umar had heard the Prophet ﷺ reciting verses from the Qur’an at the Ka’bah, and some of the verses he overheard moved him. However, his heart remained firmly opposed to Islam and the Prophet ﷺ . His opposition grew to the point that one day he picked up his sword and decided to kill the Prophet ﷺ . Fortunately, Umar did not succeed in carrying out his intention.
With his sword gripped in his hand and his mind made up, Umar met Nu’aym bin Abdullah, who asked him, “Where are you going?” “I am going to slay Muhammad,” he replied.
“How will you save yourself from Banu Hashim and Banu
Zuhra” Angered at this question, which seemed like a challenge to him, Ummar replied, “It seems as if you have forsaken our faith.” “Umar! Nu’aym countered. “The amazing thing is that your sister and brother-in-law have also renounced your faith.”
Umar was furious, and his intention was diverted from the Prophet ﷺ to his own family. In a rage, he headed straight for his sister’s house. At that moment, Khabbab bin Aratt was at Umar’s sister’s house teaching her and her husband Surah Ta Ha. When they heard Umar outside the door, Khabbab hid himself, and Fatimah, Umar’s sister, quickly hid the sheets of paper upon which the Qur’an was written.
“What was that babble I heard?” They could see that Umar was enraged and armed with a sword. “Nothing, we were just talking.”
“Maybe, both of you have renounced your faith.” Umar said.
Umar’s brother-in-law said, “Well, tell me, Umar, what if the truth lies far from your religion” Umar’s response to this question was swift and violent. He pounced upon his brother-inlaw and beat him mercilessly. When his sister tried to disengage the two in defense of her husband, Umar hit her hard on the face. Blood ran down her cheek, but at this point Fatimah was not to be deterred from speaking the truth. Echoing her husband’s question, she challenged the wisdom of Umar’s faith: Umar! What if the truth lies far from your religion”
Then in front of her brother, she declaired her own faith,using the same words every Muslim utters as solem testimony about the Oneness of Allah and the Prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ. She said, “I bear witness that none is worthy of worship other than Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad ﷺ is the Prophet of Allah.”
