Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37213 — The words of Umar bin al-Khattab

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was attacked, I went to him and said: "O Commander of the Faithful! Glad tidings of Paradise to you. You accepted Islam when other people disbelieved. You fought in jihad alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when other people were abandoning him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while he was pleased with you. No two men differ about your caliphate, and you are dying a martyr." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Say this to me again." So I said it to him again, and he said: "By the One besides whom there is none worthy of worship! If I had gold and silver equal to all that is on the earth, I would free myself with it from the terror of the Day of Resurrection."
