Narrated Sad bin Abi Waqqas: 
  Once Umar asked the leave to see Allah's Apostle in whose company there were 
some Quraishi women who were talking to him and asking him for more financial 
support raising their voices. When 'Umar asked permission to enter the women 
got up (quickly) hurrying to screen themselves. When Allah's Apostle admitted 
'Umar, Allah's Apostle was smiling, 'Umar asked, "O Allah's Apostle! May Allah 
keep you gay always." Allah's Apostle said, "I am astonished at these women who 
were with me. As soon as they heard your voice, they hastened to screen 
themselves." 'Umar said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have more right to be feared 
by them." Then he addressed (those women) saying, "O enemies of your own souls! 
Do you fear me and not Allah's Apostle ?" They replied. "Yes, for you are a 
fearful and fierce man as compared with Allah's Apostle." On that Allah's 
Apostle said (to 'Umar), "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whenever Satan sees 
you taking a path, he follows a path other than yours."
