The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It is mentioned regarding 'Umar that (may Allah be pleased with him) he would twist his mustache and say "af." I believe this is from the enemies of 'Umar; they attributed it to 'Umar falsely and deceptively. Would 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), when a matter distressed him, go and fiddle with his mustache? This is very far-fetched, and only a person weak in faith would do this.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : His fiddling, his sighing, this sighing? The point is that this is a lie about 'Umar, without doubt, a lie. Yes.
