Chapter 62: Companions of the Prophet
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: While I was standing amongst the people who were invoking Allah for 'Umar bin Al-Khattab who
was lying (dead) on his bed, a man behind me rested his elbows on my shoulder and said, "(O 'Umar!)
May Allah bestow His Mercy on you. I always hoped that Allah will keep you with your two
companions, for I often heard Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "I, Abu Bakr and 'Umar were (somewhere). I,
Abu Bakr and 'Umar did (something). I, Abu Bakr and 'Umar set out.' So I hoped that Allah will keep
you with both of them." I turned back to see that the speaker was 'Ali bin Abi Talib.
