Hadith 34101
٣٤١٠١ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن نمير عن عمرو بن ميمون عن أبيه قال: قال رجل (لعمر بن الخطاب) (١): ما رأيت مثلك، قال: رأيتَ أبا بكر؟ قال: لا، قال: لو قلت: نعم إني رأيته، لأوجعتك (٢) (٣).
Hazrat Maymun (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that a man said to Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): "I have not seen anyone like you!" He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Have you seen Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)?" The man said: "No!" He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If you had said: 'Yes, I have seen him,' I would have punished you."
