Umar's ignorance about the Holy Quran

 Hafiz scholars: Ibne Abi Shaibah, Abd bin Hamid, Ibne Mundhir have narrated from Ibrahim Tamimi that a man said in the presence of Umar:

“O Allah, make me from the small.”

Umar asked: “What supplication is this?”

He replied: I heard Almighty Allah say:
َ
And very few of My servants are grateful.”  (Surah Saba 34:13)

And I beseeched Almighty Allah to make me of those few. Umar said: “All the people are more knowledgeable than Umar.”

Qurtubi has mentioned as follows: “All the people are more knowledgeable than you, O Umar.” Zamakhshari has narrated as follows: “All people are more knowledgeable than Umar.”

(Al-Jaameul Ahkamul Quran, 14:227 [14/178]; Tafseer Kashaf, 2:445 [3/573]; Durre Mansoor, 5:229 [6/682])
