حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَشْعَثِيُّ ، وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي كُرَيْبٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ : حَدَّثَنَا ، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، يَقُولُ : " وُضِعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ ، فَتَكَنَّفَهُ النَّاسُ يَدْعُونَ ، وَيُثْنُونَ ، وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ ، قَالَ : فَلَمْ يَرُعْنِي إِلَّا بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ أَخَذَ بِمَنْكِبِي مِنْ وَرَائِي ، فَالْتَفَتُّ إِلَيْهِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ عَلِيٌّ فَتَرَحَّمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ ، وَقَالَ : مَا خَلَّفْتَ أَحَدًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَلْقَى اللَّهَ بِمِثْلِ عَمَلِهِ مِنْكَ ، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَظُنُّ أَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ اللَّهُ مَعَ صَاحِبَيْكَ ، وَذَاكَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُكَثِّرُ أَسْمَعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : جِئْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ ، وَدَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ ، وَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ ، فَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرْجُو أَوْ لَأَظُنُّ أَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ اللَّهُ مَعَهُمَا " .
Ibn Abu Mulaikah reported: I heard Ibn 'Abbas as saying: When 'Umar bin Khatab was placed in the coffin the people gathered around him. They praised him and supplicated for him before the bier was lifted up, and I was one amongst them. Nothing attracted my attention but a person who gripped my shoulder from behind. I saw towards him and found that he was 'Ali. He invoked Allah's mercy upon 'Umar and said: You have left none behind you (whose) deeds (are so enviable) that I love to meet Allah with them. By Allah, I hoped that Allah would keep you and your two associates together. I had often heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I came and there came too Abu Bakr (RA) and 'Umar; I entered and there entered too Abu Bakr (RA) and 'Umar; I went out and there went out too Abu Bakr (RA) and 'Umar, and I hope and think that Allah will keep you along with them.
