Ø  Went to prophet’s room

Ø  Omar (ra) was not ready to believe prophet (saw) had died

Ø  He recited an ayat of Sura Al Ahzaab: If the Prophet dies or killed, will you turn away from religion?

Ø  This made everyone realize that Prophet’s death is a reality.

Ø  Conflict where to bury the Prophet; Makkah, Jannat ul Baqi?

Ø  Abu bakr (ra) presented Hadith by which prophets are buried where they die

Ø  Prophet died in the room of Aisha (ra), therefore he was buried there.

 

3.      He convinced Ansaars that the caliph should be from Muhajreen and the Quresh and saved a civil war.
