In the case of selection of spouses
Omar (R) used to walk around at night to know the exact condition of the people. One night when he came in front of a small cottage, he heard a conversation inside the house. The mother is ordering the daughter, ‘Mix water with milk. It’s dawn. The girl replied, ‘No mother, Omar (R) forbade mixing water with milk. He will punish if he finds out. ‘
The mother said, “Did you see Omar?” The girl said, ‘I will obey him in public, and disobey him in secret? By God! It is not possible for me at all. In another narration, he said, ‘Omar (R) may not be watching us, but his Lord is watching us! Hearing all this in secret, Omar (R) identified the house and returned. He later married the girl to his son Hamem. She gave birth to two daughters, one of whom gave birth to Omar bin Abdul Aziz (R) (Tarikhu Madinati Damascus 60/253).
