3668. Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to go out to his Companions from the Muhājirīn and the Anṣār while they were sitting, and Abū Bakr and 'Umar would be with them. No one would lift their sight towards him except Abū Bakr and 'Umar, because they used to look at him, and he would look at them, and they would smile at him, and he would smile at them. (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, and we do not know of it except as a narration of Al-Hakam bin 'Atīyyah, and some of them have criticized Al-Hakam bin 'Atīyyah.
