Everyone is more knowledgeable than Umar

One day, Umar was thirsty and he passed by a youth of Ansa. So he asked for water. The boy mixed some honey in water and brought it to Umar. Umar did not drink it, saying: Almighty Allah says:

"You did away with your good things in your life of the world…”  (Surah Ahqaf 46:20)


The youth said: O chief of believers, this verse is not for you or any other Muslim. Recite its preceding words:

"And on the day when those who disbelieve shall be brought before the fire: You did away with your good things in your life of the world and you enjoyed them for a while."  (Surah Ahqaf 46:20)

Umar remarked: “Everyone is more learned than Umar.”
