Aslam, the client of 'Umar, said, "When we came to Syria with
'Umar ibn al-Khattab, the chief came to him, 'Amir al-Mu'minin, I have
prepared some food for you and I would like you to bring some nobles with
you. That will be a stronger and nobler action for me.' 'Umar said, 'We
cannot enter these churches of yours with the images which are inside them.'"
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: اخْتَتَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ ابْنُ عِشْرِينَ وَمِئَةٍ، ثُمَّ عَاشَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً.
Abu Hurayra said, "Ibrahim, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, was circumcised when he was 120 years old. Then he lived eighty
years after that."
Umm 'Alqama related that when the daughters of 'A'isha's brother
were circumcised, 'A'isha was asked, "Shall we call someone to amuse them?"
"Yes," she replied. 'Adi was sent for and he came to them. 'A'isha passed
by the room and saw him singing and shaking his head in rapture - and
he had a large head of hair. 'Uff!' she exclaimed, 'A shaytan! Get him
out! Get him out!'"
