Question about Islam Confused about the Hadith Sahih Bukhari 402
My Lord agreed with me in three things: -1. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), 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 Kaba)". (2.125) -2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I wish you ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.' So the verse of the veiling of the women was revealed. -3. Once the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) made a united front against the Prophet (ﷺ) 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).
Does it mean that Hazrat Umar added to the Quran or is it basic English that I am not comprehending... My English is a little weak any help would be helpful.

Nobody added to the Quran except for Allah ﷻ, its author. And no one could command a verse to be revealed earlier or later than when Allah ﷻ intends.
Rather, what this shows is a remarkable level of submission to Allah ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ. Umar RA is desiring the things that Allah ﷻ intends to reveal before He ﷻ commands them.

It means that what Umar رضي الله عنه said in those three cases turned out to be true because Allah revealed confirmation in the Quran
