Simak said: I heard Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) saying: When Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was stabbed, I went in to him and said: Rejoice, O Commander of the Believers! Allah Almighty has built or populated cities through you, removed hypocrisy through you, and spread provision through you. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), do you wish to praise my leadership? He said: Yes, and other than that as well. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, my wish is that I leave it just as I entered (it), with neither reward nor sin.
