3683. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "O Allāh honor Islām through Abū Jahl bin Hishām or through ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb.” He said: “So it happened that ‘Umar came the next day to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and accepted Islam.” (Da’if) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb from this route. Some of them criticized An-Naḍr Abī ‘Umar, and he narrates Manākīr (oddities) [due to his memory].
٣٦٨٣ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ أَبِي عُمَرَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ أَعِزَّ الْإِسْلَامَ بِأَبِي جَهْلِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ» أَوْ بِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: فَأَصْبَحَ فَغَدَا عُمَرُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْلَمَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي النَّضْرِ أَبِي عُمَرَ، وَهُوَ يَرْوِي مَنَاكِيرَ.

Abū Jahl’s name is ‘Umar bin Hishām but embracing Islam was not to be for him. The supplication of the Prophet ﷺ proves that apparent causes do help to bring Allāh’s support.
