*I Cannot Obey Allah in Public and Disobey Him in Private !*
Narrated Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn Aslam, from his father, from his grandfather,
{Allah be pleased with them }~ who said....
When I was accompanying `Umar ibn al-Khattab (Radi Allahu ‘Anhu) on his patrol of 'Madinah' at night, he felt tired, so he leaned against a wall,{It was the middle of the night.} and we heard a woman say to her daughter...“O my daughter, get up and mix that milk with some water.” {!}
The girl answered... 'O Mother, did you not hear the decree of Amir al-Mu’minin today ?
The Mother answered...“what was that ?”
so the girl said... 'he ordered someone to announce in a loud voice that milk should not be mixed with water.'
The Mother then said...'Get up and mix the milk with water ! you are in a place where `Umar (Radi Allahu`Anhu )cannot see you.'
The girl answered her Mother...
' I cannot obey Allah in Public and Disobey Him in Private ! ”
'Umar (Radi Allahu ‘Anhu) heard this,and said...
“ O Aslam, go to that place and see who that girl is, and to whom she was speaking,and whether she has a husband.”
So... I went to that place, and I saw that she was unmarried, the other woman was her Mother,
and neither of them had a husband.I came to `Umar (Radi Allahu ‘Anhu) and told him what I had found out. he then called his sons together, and said to them...
'Do any of you need a wife,so I can arrange the marriage for you' ?
'If I had the desire to get married, I would have been the first one to marry this young woman !'`Abdullah said... “I have a wife.
`Abd al-Rahman said... “I have a wife'.
`Asim said..."I do not have a wife, so let me marry her.”
So `Umar (Radi Allahu ‘Anhu) arranged for her to be married to `Asim.

A Little Note ...
She gave him a daughter, who grew up to be
the Mother of Umar ibn `Abd al-`Aziz (Rahimahullah) !
فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ
وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ
Transliteration...:'Famaiy ya`mal mithqala zarratin Khai raiy-yarah,
Wa maiy-y`amal mithqala zarratin Sharraiy-yarah'.
Translation... 'So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom, shall see it.
And whosoever does evil equal to the weight of an atom, shall see it.”
