Sayyidunā 'Umar al-FārÅ«q ibn al-Khattāb had (by the Will of Allāh) control over the šŸšØš®š« šžš„šžš¦šžš§š­š¬ known as 'al-'Anāsir al-Arba'ah'.


Imām Fakhr al-Dīn ar-Rāzī mentions in his Tafsīr that these Four Elements obeyed 'Umar Ibn al-Khattāb:

Ibn Kathīr and others have recorded this:


Sayyidunā ‘Amr wrote to Sayyidunā ‘Umar telling him the proponents regarding the Nile river. He ('Umar) responded and wrote back to him, saying: “You did the right thing. I am sending you a piece of paper with my letter; throw it into the Nile.”


When the letter came, Sayyidunā ‘Amr took the piece of paper on which was written: 


“From the slave of Allāh 'Umar, AmÄ«r al-MuminÄ«n, to the Nile of the people of Egypt.


To proceed: If you only flow on your own initiative, then do not flow, for we have no need of you. But if you only flow on the command of Allāh, the One, the Subduer, and He is the One Who causes you to flow, then we ask Allāh, may He be exalted, to make you flow.” 


He threw the paper in the Nile and by Saturday morning, Allāh had caused the Nile to flow and Allāh put an end to this particular custom of the people of Egypt.

Imām Abū Bakr Ibn Abī Shaybah has recorded this with a reliable chain, that an earthquake occurred during the time of Sayyidunā 'Umar ibn al-Khattāb:


One day an earthquake hit MadÄ«nah, and 'Umar hit the ground with his stick and said, “Be calm, by the permission of Allāh”, and the earthquake ceased because Sayyidunā ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb told it to.

Al-BayhaqÄ«, Imām Aįø„mad and many others have recorded:


When Sayyidunā ‘Umar Ibn al-Khattāb sent out an army, he appointed a man named Sariyah as their leader. Then while Sayyidunā ‘Umar was delivering the Khutbah, he started shouting: “O Sariyah, the mountain! O Sariyah, the mountain, the mountain!” Then a messenger from the army came and he [‘Umar Ų±Ų¶ŁŠ Ų§Ł„Ł„Ł‡ Ų¹Ł†Ł‡] questioned him [concerning the army], he said: “O Leader of the Believers! We met with the enemy and they had [almost] defeated us, then a voice proclaimed, ‘O Sariyah, the mountain!’ So we put our backs against the mountain and due to this Allāh vanquished them.” This shows us the Karāmah (miracle performed by a friend of Allāh) of Sayyidunā ‘Umar and his knowledge of the Unseen (‘ilm al-ghayb).

It’s recorded by al-BayhaqÄ« and others that a fire was extinguished by the shawl of AmÄ«r ul-Mu'minÄ«n Sayyidunā 'Umar al-FārÅ«q ibn al-Khattāb:


It is stated that once during the reign of Sayyidunā 'Umar, a wild fire was observed from a mountain cave and burned everything in the surrounding. People took their plea to the Caliph and the Caliph gave his shawl to Sayyidunā Tamīm ad-Dārī. He asked him to take that shawl to the fire. Upon arrival, Tamīm ad-Dārī observed that the fire started to extinguish by itself as he went near and when he went into the cave the fire extinguished completely and never appeared again.
