3682. Nāfi' narrated from Ibn 'Umar, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Indeed Allāh has put truth upon the tongue and in the heart of 'Umar."
He said: "And Ibn 'Umar said: 'No affair occurred among the people, except that they said something about it, and 'Umar said something about it'" or he said – "Ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb" – Khārijah (one of the narrators) had a doubt about it – "except that the Qur'an was revealed in line with what 'Umar had said." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from Al-Faḍl bin 'Abbās, Abū Dharr and Abū Hurairah. This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb from this route. [Khārijah bin 'Abdullāh Al-Anṣārī is Ibn Sulaimān bin Zaid bin Thābit, and he is trustworthy].

Commentary
This narration proves 'Umar's maturity of opinion and power of deduction, therefore, the number of his statements confirmed in the Qur'an are more than twenty. But this does not prove 'Umar's superiority over Abū Bakr.
