Musnad Ahmad 157 (Book 2, Hadith 74) #33849
The Three Matters Agreed Upon by Umar and Allah

SUMMARY: Umar suggested three matters to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Allah revealed verses in the Quran regarding them.

It was narrated that Anas said: Umar said: I agreed with my Lord on three matters, I said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ , why don't we take the Maqam of Ibraheem as a place of prayer? Then the verse was revealed: ' And take you(people) the Maqam (place) of Ibraheem (Abraham) or the stone on which Ibraheem (Abraham) stood while he was building the Kabahas a place of prayer' al Baqarah 2:125. And I said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ , both righteous and evil doers enter your wives, so why don't you tell them to observe the hijab? Then the verse of hijab was revealed. And the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got together as a result of the jealousy between them, and I said to them'. It may be if he divorced you(all) that his lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you'at Tahrim 66:5, and it was revealed like that.
حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَنْبَأَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَافَقْتُ رَبِّي فِي ثَلَاثٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ اتَّخَذْنَا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى فَنَزَلَتْ ‏{‏وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى‏}‏ وَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ نِسَاءَكَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِنَّ الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ فَلَوْ أَمَرْتَهُنَّ أَنْ يَحْتَجِبْنَ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ وَاجْتَمَعَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نِسَاؤُهُ فِي الْغَيْرَةِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُنَّ ‏{‏عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُ أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ‏}‏ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ كَذَلِكَ‏.‏
