Umar's behaviour in presence of Holy Prophet (s.a.)

 It is narrated from Ibne Abbas that: “When Zainab, daughter of Prophet, passed away, Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said: Join her with our righteous one, Uthman bin Mazun, who has passed away. So the ladies began to lament and Umar beat them with a lash.

Suddenly the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) caught his hand and said: ‘Umar, stop this and allow them to lament.’

He also told the ladies: ‘Don’t make satanic statements when you lament.’

Then Ibne Abbas says: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) wept at the side of the grave along with Fatima and His Eminence (s.a.w.a.) wiped Fatima’s tears with his garment.”
