Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34184 — Reports on the virtue of Umar bin

Abdullah bin Ubayd bin Umayr (may Allah have mercy on him) reports that when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was struck with the spear, Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to him and said: "O Commander of the Faithful! Surely your Islam proved a help for the Muslims, and your caliphate a victory for the Muslims. By Allah, you have filled the earth with justice, so much so that if two men had a dispute between them, they would both entrust their matter to you." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "People, sit me up." So the people sat him up. He said: "Repeat your words to me." So Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) repeated his words. He said: "Will you bear witness to this on the day you meet your Lord?" He said: "Yes!" The narrator says: This delighted Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and made him very happy.
