Sahih al-Bukhari 4483

Musaddad related to us, from Yahya ibn Sa‘id, from Humayd, from Anas, who said that ‘Umar said:

“My view coincided with my Lord’s in three matters—or, my Lord’s with mine. I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, if only you took the Station of Abraham as a place of prayer.’ I also said, ‘Messenger of Allah, both righteous and immoral people enter your rooms; if only you ordered the Mothers of the Believers to observe the veil.’ Then Allah revealed the verse of the veil. And when I heard that the Prophet was reproaching some of his wives, I went in to them and said, ‘Either you stop, or Allah will give His Messenger wives better than you.’ I went to one of his wives, and she said, ‘Umar, is there not enough in the Messenger of Allah to admonish his wives, that you must admonish them too?’ Then Allah revealed, ‘It may be that if he divorces you, his Lord will give him in exchange wives better than you, who submit to Allah...’” [Quran 66:5]

Ibn Abi Maryam said: Yahya ibn Ayyub informed us: Humayd related to me: I heard Anas, from ‘Umar.
