Umar Knew Better Than The Prophet (saw)

‏فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّىٰ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوا۟ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًۭا مِّمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًۭا ‎

By your Lord, they do not really believe unless they make you [Prophet] judge their disputes, and then find no resentment to accept your decision, fully submitting.

(4:65)

Holy Qur'aan

وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّ‌سُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانتَهُوا ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّـهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ

“And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, abstain. And have Taqwa of Allah. Verily Allah is severe in punishment.” 

(59:7)

Holy Qur'aan

قُلۡ يٰۤـاَهۡلَ الۡـكِتٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُوۡا فِىۡ دِيۡـنِكُمۡ غَيۡرَ الۡحَـقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوۡۤا اَهۡوَآءَ قَوۡمٍ قَدۡ ضَلُّوۡا مِنۡ قَبۡلُ وَاَضَلُّوۡا كَثِيۡرًا وَّضَلُّوۡا عَنۡ سَوَآءِ السَّبِيۡلِ

Say: 'People of the Book! Do not go beyond bounds in your religion at the cost of truth, and do not follow the caprices of the people who fell into error before, and caused others to go astray, and strayed far away from the right path.

(5:77)

Holy Qur'aan  

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَا تُقَدِّمُوۡا بَيۡنَ يَدَىِ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوۡلِهٖ​ وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ​ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِيۡعٌ عَلِيۡمٌ‏ 

Believers, do not advance before Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah. Verily Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing

(49:1) 

Holy Qur'aan

 

Diyya Al-Din Al-Maqdisi

In the introduction of the investigation of the book "Al-Ahadeeth Al-Mukhtara," the investigator said: "Those who speak on the science of narrations, divide the books of narrations into ranks, and they mention the books of Saheeh, i.e. the books of authentic narrations. And all those who spoke on the ranks of the books, who lived after Al-Diyya, mentioned "Al-Mukhtara" from among the books of Saheeh (Authentic ones)."

Al-Sakhawi says: "One of the books of Saheeh is Al-Mukhtara which its hadeeths do not exist in the Sahihayn (i.e. Al-Bukhari and Muslim) or one of them."

Al-Suyuti says: "And one of them, i.e. of those who have written Saheeh books, is Al-Hafiz Dhia'uddin Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahid Al-Maqdisi, he has collected a book by the name of "Ahadeeth Al-Mukhtara" in which he obliged himself to Saheeh (Authentic) narrations."

Al-Dhahabi says about Al-Ahadeeth Al-Mukhtara: "This book contains hadeeth that can be taken as proof beside what has been collected in the Sahihayn (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)."

Diyya Al-Din Al-Maqdisi:

Umar ordered Ubai ibn Ka'b to lead people in praying Taraweeh. Ubai said, "But it is not like that (i.e to be prayed under an Imam)". Umar said, "I'm aware of that but I think it's better." Then, he (Ubai) lead them in 20 Rakat.
