Sayyiduna ꜤUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ. The account begins with Sayyidunā Naḍlah b. MuꜤāwiyah al-Anṣārī رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, who was returning from Ḥulwān Iraq, with goods captured from non-Muslims after winning a battle. As he and his group of 3000 Anṣār and Muhājirīn passed by a mountain, night set in.

He began to give azan, and upon saying اَللہُ اَکْبَر اَللہُ اَکْبَر, a voice rang out from the mountain. “Naḍlah!”, it said, “You have praised He who is Most Esteemed!”

As he said اَشْہَدُ اَنْ لَّا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہ, the voice exclaimed, “You have proclaimed the pure Oneness of Allah.”

Upon saying اَشْہَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَّسُوْلُ اللہ, the voice then explained, “He was sent as Prophet, after whom no other shall come. He is a warner.

Upon حَیَّ عَلَی الْفَلَاح, the voice said, “Whoever came for prayer and permanently maintained it, acquired their goal. Whoever followed Muhammad (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) acquired their goal.”

When the azan concluded with اَللہُ اَکْبَر اَللہُ اَکْبَر ، لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہ, the voice called out; “Naḍlah, you have attained complete sincerity. Due to this, Allah Almighty has forbidden Hellfire upon your body.” The Companion رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ finished azan, offered prayer, and then asked, “O you who speaks so beautifully! I have heard what you said. Are you an angel, jinn, or one of the Rijāl al-ghayb (people of the unseen)? Come speak in front of me,
