Umar Bin Al Khattab: ''To the hill Sariya, To the Hill!''

One Friday, while leading the congregational (Juma'a) prayer in the Great Mosque at Medina, Umar Bin Al Khattab suddenly started shouting "To the hill Sariya! To the hill!!" Those who were in the mosque with Umar asked him what the matter was..

Umar explained that a group of enemies was about to attack the Muslims --led by a man whose name was Sariya-- during one of their expeditions in Persia. Foreseeing the danger he wanted to warn Sariya to rush back to the hill where he and his men would be safe and win the battle. Several weeks after the incident, a messenger from the battle field brought the news of the Muslim's victory. He also related how the voice of the Caliph had warned them in time. By that miracle, Sariya had heard Omar's warning and led his men to the hill to a position of safety where they had easily defeated the enemy . In this incident, we see that by the Grace of Allah (swt), Umar has a vision that shows him the army in danger hence shouting his directions to the leader who by the Grace of Allah (swt) heard this shout hundreds of miles away and acted upon it.
