Sahih al-Bukhari 3865 (Book 63, Hadith 90) #3693
Protection of Umar upon Embracing Islam

SUMMARY: A man named Al-'As bin Wail protected Umar when he embraced Islam and the people gathered around his home.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: When 'Umar embraced Islam, all The (disbelieving) people gathered around his home and said, "'Umar has embraced Islam". At that time I was still a boy and was on the roof of my house. There came a man wearing a cloak of Dibaj (ie a kind of silk), and said, "'Umar has embraced Islam. Nobody can harm him for I am his protector". I then saw the people going away from 'Umar and asked who the man was, and they said, "Al-'As bin Wail".
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ سَمِعْتُهُ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ لَمَّا أَسْلَمَ عُمَرُ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ عِنْدَ دَارِهِ وَقَالُوا صَبَا عُمَرُ‏.‏ وَأَنَا غُلاَمٌ فَوْقَ ظَهْرِ بَيْتِي، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ قَبَاءٌ مِنْ دِيبَاجٍ فَقَالَ قَدْ صَبَا عُمَرُ‏.‏ فَمَا ذَاكَ فَأَنَا لَهُ جَارٌ‏.‏ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ تَصَدَّعُوا عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا الْعَاصِ بْنُ وَائِلٍ‏.‏

When Umar accepted the religion of Islam, many people gathered around his house to oppose him.
