The Story of 'Umar with Sariyyah and His Saying, "O Sariyyah, the Mountain"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the story of 'Umar with Sariyyah, some narrations state that when 'Umar was asked about his saying, "O Sariyyah, the mountain," he replied that it was a statement that Allah put on his tongue. Does that not indicate that 'Umar was not shown the army in a dream and did not see it with his own eyes, but rather that Allah put it on his tongue?

Answer:
Or perhaps the state of the army came to his mind, and then he spoke these words. In any case, Allah revealed it to him, either through visual sight, or through spiritual insight, or through spiritual insight. Allah revealed it to him and taught him, so he made this statement. Yes, did not Allah, Exalted and Majestic, reveal to His Prophet the Sacred Mosque while he was in Makkah, so that he would look at it and describe it? Allah is capable of everything. This is among the prophetic miracles of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And if something similar occurs through 'Umar, it is among the miracles granted to the awliya (close friends of Allah). Yes.
