Sahih al-Bukhari Book 62, Hadith 40
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whilst a shepherd was amongst his sheep, a wolf attacked them and took away
a sheep. The shepherd chased it and got that sheep freed from the wolf. The wolf turned towards the
shepherd and said, 'Who will guard the sheep on the day of wild animals when it will have no
shepherd except myself?" The people said, "Glorified be Allah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But I believe in it
and so do Abu Bakr and `Umar although Abu Bakr and `Umar were not present there (at the place of
the event).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Among the nations before you there used to be people who were inspired (though they were not prophets). And if there is any of such a persons amongst my followers, it is 'Umar."
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Among the nation of Bani Israel who lived before you, there were men who used to be inspired with guidance though they were not prophets, and if there is any of such persons amongst my followers, it is 'Umar."
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "While I was sleeping, the people were presented to me (in a dream). They were wearing shirts, some of which were merely covering their (chests). and some were a bit longer. `Umar was presented before me and his shirt was so long that he was dragging it." They asked, "How have you interpreted it, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He said, "Religion."
