Divine inspiration

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم قَالَ

إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ فِيمَا مَضَى قَبْلَكُمْ مِنَ الأُمَمِ مُحَدَّثُونَ، وَإِنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أُمَّتِي هَذِهِ مِنْهُمْ، فَإِنَّهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ

Abu Hurairah^ra narrated, “The Prophet^sa said, ‘Amongst the ummas preceding you there were muhaddathun [i.e., recipients of Divine speech]. And if there are any of them amongst this umma of mine, it is certainly ‘Umar^ra ibn al-Khattab.’”
