Malik ad-Dar i.e. treasurer of Umar (RA) relates: The people were gripped by famine during the tenure of Umar (Ibn-ul-Khattab). Then a man walked up to the grave of Prophet and said: O Messenger of Allah! ask for rain from Allah for your Ummah who is in dire straits. Then he saw the Prophet ﷺ in dream. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, Go over to Umar, give him my regards and tell him that the rain will come to you. And tell Umar that he should be on his toes, he should be on his toes (he should remain alert). He went over to see Umar and passed on to him the tidings. On hearing this, Umar broke into a spurt of crying. He said, O Allah, I exert myself to the full until I am completely exhausted.

Then he (Marwan) said to him, “Do you know what are you doing?” When he moved towards him, he saw that it was Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. (In reply) he said, “Yes (I know) I have come to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and not to a stone. I have heard it from the Messenger of God (ﷺ) not to cry over religion when its guardian is competent.Yes, shed tears over religion when its guardian is incompetent.

Narrated `Umar: The Prophet said: “When Adam committed his mistake he
said: O my Lord, I am asking you to forgive me for the sake of Muhammad.
Allah said: O Adam, and how do you know about Muhammad whom I have not yet
created? Adam replied, O my Lord, after You created me with your hand and
breathed into me of Your Spirit, I raised my head and saw written on the
heights of the Throne: “LA ILAHA ILLALLAH MUHAMMADUR RASULULLAH” I understood
that You would not place next to Your Name but the Most Beloved One of Your
creation. Allah said: O Adam, I have forgiven you, and were it not for Muhammad
I would not have created you.” Al-Hakim narrated it in al-Mustadrak al
Sahihayn (Volume No. 2, Page No. 651, Hadith No. 4228)
Imam Hakim (rah) also narrates: Ibn
Abbas (ra) narrates that Allah inspired Isa (a.s) saying O Isa, believe in
Muhammad (ﷺ), and whosoever form your Ummah finds him should believe
in him, If I had not created Muhammad (ﷺ) then I would not have created
Adam, If not for him I would not have created the paradise and hell, When I
made the throne on Water, it started to shake, I wrote La Ilaha Il Allah
Muhammad ur Rasul Ullah, due to which it became still [Imam Hakim in Mustadrak ala Sahihayn, Volume No. 2, Page
No. 609, Hadith No. 4227]
