It is narrated from Abu Hujayfah, he says: I was with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), a cloth was placed over him covering him, he had passed away. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, he removed the cloth from his face and said: O Abu Hafs! May Allah’s mercy be upon you. After the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), there is no man more beloved to me than you, that I would wish to meet Allah with a record of deeds like yours.
