Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When (the dead body of) ‘Umar was put on his deathbed, the people gathered around him and in –
voked (Allah) and prayed for him before the body was taken away, and I was amongst them. Sud –
denly I felt somebody taking hold of my shoulder and found out that he was ‘Ali bin Abi Talib. ‘Ali
invoked Allah’s Mercy for ‘Umar and said, “O ‘Umar! You have not left behind you a person whose
deeds I like to imitate and meet Allah with more than I like your deeds. By Allah! I always thought
that Allah would keep you with your two companions, for very often I used to hear the Prophet say –
ing, ‘I, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar went (somewhere); I, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar entered (somewhere); and I,
Abu Bakr and ‘Umar went out.”‘

Narrated Anas:
A man asked the Prophet about the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgment) saying, “When will the Hour be?”
The Prophet said, “What have you prepared for it?” The man said, “Nothing, except that I love Allah
and His Apostle.” The Prophet said, “You will be with those whom you love.” We had never been so
glad as we were on hearing that saying of the Prophet (i.e., “You will be with those whom you love.”)
Therefore, I love the Prophet, Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, and I hope that I will be with them because of my
love for them though my deeds are not similar to theirs.
