It is related that Sayyiduna Sa'id ibn Abi Waqqas(Radhi ALLAHu ta'ala anhu) said,"'Umar asked the Messenger of ALLAH (Peace be upon him) for permission to enter while there were some women of Quraysh with him who speaking to him and asking him for more, raising their voices above his voice. When 'Umar ibn al-Khattab asked for permission to enter, they rushed to screen themselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (Peace be upon him) gave him permission and 'Umar entered while the Messenger of ALLAH (Peace be upon him) was laughing. 'Umar said, 'May ALLAH make you laugh, Messenger of ALLAH.' He said, 'I am amazed at those women who were with me. When they heard your voice, they rushed to screen themselves.' 'Umar said, 'But you, Messenger of ALLAH, are more entitled to be feared.' Then he said, 'O enemies of your selves! Do you fear me and not fear the Messenger of ALLAH?' They said, 'Yes, you are harsher and more severe than the Messenger of ALLAH.' The Messenger of ALLAH said, 'O Ibn al-Khattab! By the One in whose hand my soul is, whenever Shaytan finds you taking a path, he only takes a path other than your path.'" [Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of the Virtues of the Companions, Hadith 3480]
