7302. Narrated Ibn Abī Mulaika: Once, the two righteous men, i.e., Abū Bakr and 'Umar were on the verge of destruction. (And that was because:) When the delegate of Bani Tamīm came to the Prophet ﷺ, one of them (either Abū Bakr or 'Umar) recommended Al-Aqra' bin Hābis At-Tamīmi Al-Hanzālī, the brother of Bani Mujāshī (to be appointed as their chief), while the other recommended somebody else. Abū Bakr said to 'Umar, “You intended only to oppose me.” 'Umar said, “I did not intend to oppose you!” Then their voices grew louder in front of the Prophet ﷺ whereupon there was revealed: “O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet... (up to) a great reward.” (V.49:2,3) Ibn Az-Zubair said, “Thenceforth when 'Umar talked to the Prophet ﷺ, he would talk like one who whispered a secret and would even fail to make the Prophet ﷺ hear him, in which case the Prophet ﷺ would ask him (to repeat his words)."
