English translation
1287. Ibn 'Abbās said, رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا used to say so." Then he added narrating, "I accompanied 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ on a journey from Makkah till we reached Al-Baidā'. There, he saw some travellers in the shade of a Samura (a kind of forest tree). He said (to me), 'Go and see who those travellers are.' So I went and saw that one of them was Suhaib. I informed 'Umar about that, who then asked me to call him. So I went back to Suhaib and said to him, 'Depart and proceed to the chief of the faithful believers.' Later, when 'Umar was stabbed, Suhaib came weeping and saying, 'O my brother, O my friend!' On this 'Umar said to him: O Suhaib! Are you weeping for me while the Prophet ﷺ said, 'The deceased is punished because of the weeping (with loud wailing) of some of his relatives?'"
