Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4059

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ قَالَ : لَمَّا مَاتَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ بَكَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالُوا لَهُ : تَبْكِي ؟ فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، أَخِي فِي النَّسَبِ ، وَصَاحِبِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَأَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ وَالْكَبِيرِ بِنَحْوِهِ وَزَادَ : وَمَا أُحِبُّ مَعَ ذَلِكَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مِتْ قَبْلَهُ ; لَأَنْ يَمُوتَ فَأَحْتَسِبُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَمُوتَ فَيَحْتَسِبُنِي . وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When Sayyiduna Utbah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep. People said: "You are weeping?" He said: "Yes. He is my full brother, he was my companion with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he is the dearest person to me, except that the case of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) is different (that is, I love him more)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. In al-Mu'jam al-Kabir he recorded a similar narration and added these words: "Even so, I would not like to have died before him, because that he should die and I hope for reward through him is dearer to me than that I should die and he hope for reward through me." The narrators of this narration are thiqat (trustworthy).
