107. Abu Hurairah said: "We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'While I was sleeping I saw myself in Paradise (in a dream), and I saw a woman performing ablution beside a palace. I asked: "Whose palace is this?" She said: "Umar's." I remembered his protective jealousy, so I turned away and left.'" Abu Hurairah said: "Umar wept and said: 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allāh! Would I feel any protective jealousy against you?'" (Sahih)
107 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ، رَأَيْتُنِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِامْرَأَةٍ تَتَوَضَّأُ إِلَى جَنْبِ قَصْرٍ، فَقُلْتُ: لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ فَقَالَتْ: لِعُمَرَ، فَذَكَرْتُ غَيْرَتَهُ، فَوَلَّيْتُ مُدْبِرًا " قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: فَبَكَى عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ: أَعَلَيْكَ، بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَغَارُ؟

The dreams seen by the Prophets are part of the Divine Revelation. As such this dream of the Prophet ﷺ is a conclusive proof that 'Umar ﷺ is of the people of Paradise. The leader must respect the sensibilities of his associates; he should particularly consider their honor and dignity as his own. This shows the great sense of reverence and love the Companion, especially the senior ones among them, had towards the Prophet ﷺ. And since love for the Prophet is part of faith, intensity in it is indicative of the strength of one's Imân. There shall absolutely be no impurity or filth in Paradise. Therefore the ablution performed by the woman must be for purposes of added cleanliness and purity.
