Umar (ra) sacrifices his need for Abdullah Ibn Masood (ra) and upon sending him to Kufa, plants the blessed seeds of the Hanafi fiqh.

Kufa was called the head of the body referring to its importance in the propagation of the religion so sent Abdullah Ibn Masood (ra) and Amir ibn Yaasir (ra) - the two Badrees.

Umar (ra) is angry with the person who is filling scrolls with Quran from memory in Kufa but upon hearing that is Abdullah Ibn Masood (ra) his anger is dissipated and praises him as the only sahabah worthy of this.

The sermon of Abdullah Ibn Masood, The Best Creed to be that of Ibrahim (as), the best way is the Sunnah, the best guidence is from the Prophet's, the most dignified discourse is zikr and the worst misguidance is to stray after being guided.

The Prophet ﷺ is happy with that which Abdullah Ibn Masood (ra) is happy with, hence the importance of the statement when he called the love for Abu Bakr & Umar (raa) and integral part of the Sunnah.

Umar (ra) was undoubtedly like an impenetrable dam that protected the muslim nation from the violent waters of misguidence and the roaring waves of trials and tribulations.

Ibn Ummi Abd (ra) is 40 as Abu Bakr (ra) guides the Ummah.

How ironic is it that a person strives for what is already promised (sustenance) but belittles the Lord's SWT forgiveness thinking it to be accepted.

Imam Ghazali compares us to the traveller only taking what is needed and in loss when reaching the destination (death) with excess in what he brought with him.

"Remaining busy getting ready to die - what else is there to do."
