Saying Ya Muhammad
Ibn Taymiyyah
Ibn Taymiyah’s quote in his book Al-Kalimu-t–Tayyib(Page 96):
عن الهيثم بن حنش قال: كنا عند عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما، فخدرت رجله فقال له رجل: اذكر أحب الناس إليك، فقال: يا محمد، فكأنما نشط من عقال
which means: “From Al-Haytham Ibn Hanash that he said, ‘We were with ˆAbdullah Ibn ˆUmar, may Allah accept his and his father’s deeds, when his leg was inflicted with the ‘khadar’. A man said to him, ‘Mention the most beloved of people to you,’ so he said, ‘Ya Muhammad’, and it was as if he was released from a tie around his shins.”

The Narration of Al-Hafidh Al-Bayhaqiyy
Al-Hafidh Al-Bayhaqiyy with his chain of narration mentioned: From the route of Malik Ad-Dar, that he said: The people were inflicted with a famine at the time of ˆUmar Ibnu-l-Khattab, So, a man came to the grave of the Prophet ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allah, seek the rain for your nation, for certainly they are perishing!” Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to him in a dream and said: ‘Go to ˆUmar and pass the salam to him from me and inform him that they will be irrigated. And say to him: “Endeavor! Endeavor!” And so, the man came and informed ˆUmar, then ˆUmar said, “O my Lord, I do not fall short except in what I am unable to do!”
Ibn Kathir Authenticating the Narration
Al-Hafidh Ibn Kathir, who is trustworthy to the Wahhabiyys, narrated this and said immediately afterwards:
وَهَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ
which means: “This is an authentic chain of narration.”
