3692. Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: When 'Umar was stabbed, he showed signs of agony. Ibn 'Abbās, as if intending to encourage 'Umar, said to him, "O chief of the believers! Never mind what has happened to you, you have been in the company of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and you kept good relations with him and you parted with him (i.e., he died) while he was pleased with you. Then you were in the company of Abū Bakr and kept good relations with him and you parted with him (i.e., he died) while he was pleased with you. Then you were in the company of the Muslims, and you kept good relations with them, and if you leave them, you will leave them while they are pleased with you." 'Umar said, (to Ibn 'Abbās), "As for what you have said about the company of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and his being pleased with me, it is a favour, Allāh تعالى did to me; and as for what you have said about the company of Abū Bakr and his being pleased with me, it is a favour, Allāh تعالى did to me; and concerning my impatience which you see, is because of you and your companions. By Allāh! If (at all) I had gold equal to the earth (quantity), I would have ransomed myself with it from the punishment of Allāh عز وجل before I meet Him."
