Hazrat Ummar (R.A) asks about Hamzad
Allama Abi Jafir Muhammad Bin Jarir Tibri (died in 310 Hijri) wrote this incidence in his book of Islamic history, which is one of the oldest Islamic history book. He gave the heading,"Prophecy of an Arab fortune teller". He wrote, once Hazrat Ummar Bin Khattab R.A was addressing in The Prophet's Mosque, (مسجد نبوی) an Arab came in to be near with Ummar R.A. upon seeing him Hazrat Ummar R.A said, "This man is either still on shirk after abandon it or he must be a fortune teller in the days of ignorance. Arab sat near Hazrat Ummar R.A after Salam, Hazrat Ummar asked, "have you embraced Islam?" he replied, "yes", then asked were you a fortuneteller in the time of ignorance"? He said, All praise for Allah, you asked me such a question you never asked to any person of your state". Hazrat Ummar said, O Allah, forgive me for this, in fact in the time of ignorance we were indulged in more evils than bitterness of this question, we worshiped idols at last Allah bestowed us with the wealth of Islam, then Arab said, You are wright, I was certainly a Fortune Teller in those days. Hazrat Ummar (R.A) asked, Tell me the strangest thing your Qareen ( قرین) (Hamzad) said to you. He replied, One month or one year before Islam he came to me and said, "Do you not see the devils? they are now frightened, they are hopeless regarding their faith and belief, They are just thinking to run away"
