Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
When ‘Umar was stabbed, he showed signs of agony. Ibn ‘Abbas, as if intending to encourage
‘Umar, said to him, “O Chief of the believers! Never mind what has happened to you, for you have
been in the company of Allah’s Apostle and you kept good relations with him and you parted with
him while he was pleased with you. Then you were in the company of Abu Bakr and kept good rela –
tions with him and you parted with him (i.e. he died) while he was pleased with you. Then you were
in the company of the Muslims, and you kept good relations with them, and if you leave them, you
will leave them while they are pleased with you.” ‘Umar said, (to Ibn “Abbas), “As for what you have
said about the company of Allah’s Apostle and his being pleased with me, it is a favor, Allah did to
me; and as for what you have said about the company of Abu Bakr and his being pleased with me, it
is a favor Allah did to me; and concerning my impatience which you see, is because of you and your
companions. By Allah! If (at all) I had gold equal to the earth, I would have ransomed myself with it
from the Punishment of Allah before I meet Him.”
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 26:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
While I was standing amongst the people who were invoking Allah for Umar bin Al-Khattab who
was lying (dead) on his bed, a man behind me rested his elbows on my shoulder and said, “(O
‘Umar!) May Allah bestow His Mercy on you. I always hoped that Allah will keep you with your two
companions, for I often heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “I, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar were (somewhere). I,
Abu Bakr and ‘Umar did (something). I, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar set out.’ So I hoped that Allah will keep
you with both of them.” I turned back to see that the speaker was Ali bin Abi Talib.

Narrated Abu Musa:
While I was with the Prophet in one of the gardens of Medina, a man came and asked me to open
the gate. The Prophet said to me, “Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings that he will
enter Paradise.” I opened (the gate) for him, and behold! It was Abu Bakr. I informed him of the glad
tidings the Prophet had said, and he praised Allah. Then another man came and asked me to open
the gate. The Prophet said to me “Open (the gate) and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise.”
I opened (the gate) for him, and behold! It was ‘Umar. I informed him of what the Prophet had said,
and he praised Allah. Then another man came and asked me to open the gate. The Prophet said to
me. “Open (the gate) for him and inform him of the glad tidings, of entering Paradise with a calamity
which will befall him. ” Behold ! It was ‘Uthman, I informed him of what Allah’s Apostle had said. He
praised Allah and said, “I seek Allah’s Aid.”

the Prophet’s neck and squeezed it very severely. Abu Bakr came and pulled ‘Uqba away from the

brought forth to you the Evident Signs from your Lord?”
