THE NIKAH OF THE SON OF HAZRAT UMAR R.A TO AGIRL FROM BANU HILAL.
Hazrat Umar bin Khattab R.A had prohibited the dilution of milk with water during his reign of khilafat.One night, because of some necessity, he went towards the outskirts of Madina Munawwarah. Suddenly he heard the voice of woman addressing her daughter :"Why have you not diluted the milk with water as yet?The break of dawn is near". The daughter repliad : "It is not permissible for me to dilute the milk with water. The Amirul Mu'mineen has prohibited doing so". The mother remarked : "Why can't you do it when other are doing so. The Amirul Mu'mineen is unaware of what you are doing so". The young daugther replied : "If Umar is unaware, then most certainly his Rabb is aware of what I am doing. Hence I am unable to comply with your order". Hazrat Umar R.A was extremely pleased with the conversation of this young girl.
The next morning he called his son Asim and related the whole incident to him. He then told his son, "Go and enquire who is that young girl". After making some enquiries, Asim informed his father that she belonged to the clan of Bani Hilal .Hazrat Umar R.A then advised his son, "Preform your nikah with this young girl. She is most definitely worthy of bearing a great leader who will rule over all the Arabs".
Consequently, Asim married this young girl. She bore a daugther, Ummu Asim binti Asim bin Umar bin Khattab. Umme Asim married Abdul Aziz bin Marwan bin Hakam.From this marriage, Umar bin Abdul Aziz was born.
It is narrated that once Hazrat Umar R.A awoke from his sleep, rubbed his eyes,wiped his face with his hand, repeating the follwing words several times, "Who is going to be born from the progeny of Umar and will follow in the footstep of Umar?".
