I said,"O Allah’s Apostle, I wish we took the station of Abraham as our praying place (for some of our prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you (people) the station of Abraham as a place of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g. two Rakat of Tawaf of Ka'ba)”. (2.125)

 3. Once the wives of the Prophet made a united front against the Prophet and I said to them, 'It may be if he (the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will give him instead of you wives better than you.’ So this verse (the same as I had said) was revealed.“ (66.5).

Also verse about performing funeral prayer for the hypocrites. ” O messenger of Allaah, are you about to pray for Abdullah ibn Ubai the man who said such and such on such and such and such day,“  The prophet smiled and continued to perform funeral prayer and Umar showed no sigh of stopping , until the prophet (sallallahu alyhi wasallam) said, "Move back, O Umar. Verily, I have been given a choice (to ask for ibn Ubai’s forgiveness or to not ask for his forgiveness), and I have made my choice. It has been said to me, (Qur'aan 9:80).”

4.After a short while the verse was revealed: And do not pray [the funeral prayer, O Muhammad], over any of them who has died - ever - or stand at his grave. Indeed, they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and died while they were defiantly disobedient. Qur'aan 9:84

8.  When Abdullad ibn Ubay (a Munafiq) passed away then the Munafiqs asked the Holy Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam to perform his Janazah Salah.  Hadrath Umar radi Allahu anhu said that the thought came in his heart that Abdulla bin Ubay was an enemy of Islam and it wouldn’t be proper if the Holy Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam performed his Janazah Salah.
Allah Ta’aala revealed the Ayat ,’And pray you never over any of their dead and not stand over his grave. No doubt they rejected Allah and His Messenger and died while they were disobedient.’ –Surah Tawba verse 84-

9.  One day a Jew met Hadrath Umar radi Allahu anhu and told that the Jibreel (alayhis salaam) that your Prophet speaks of is our enemy. When Hadrath Umar radi Allahu anhu heard this he said that whoever has enmity to Allah, His Angels, His Messengers,  Jibreel and Mikaeel, verily they have made enmity with Allah. As Hadrath Umar radi Allahu anhu said these words Allah revealed an Ayat with exactly the words viz Surah alBaqrah verse 98

10.  Once two people were disputing so they went to Rasullullah sallAllahu alayhi wasallam to resolve their problem. The Holy Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam gave a decision in favour of one of them. The other said lets go to Hadrath Umar radi Allahu anhu and ask him for a decision. When they arrived at Hadrath Umar radi Allahu anhu the one in whose favour Rasullullah sallAllahu alayhi wasallam had ruled, informed Hadrath Umar radi Allahu anhu that Rasullullah had already adjudicated in his favour but the other person wanted a decision from you. Hadrath Umar radi Allahu anhu went into his room and returned with his sword. He cut off the head of the one who wasn’t happy the verdict of the Holy Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam. The other complainant ran to the Holy Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam and told him what had happened. The Holy Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam that I don’t believe that Hadrath Umar radi Allahu anhu would kill a believer.
The Ayat was revealed, ‘Then O Beloved by your Lord they shall not be Muslims until they make you judge in all disputes among themselves then they find no impediment in their hearts concerning whatever you decide and accept from the eve of their hearts.’ Surah Nisaa verse 65
All this helps us to understand that Hadrath Umar radi Allahu anhu is indeed a blessed personality and his decisions have time and again been certified by the Quran.
