Ibn Abu Mulaika reported: I heard Ibn Abbas as saying: When Umar Bin AlKhattab was placed in the coffin the people gathered around him. They praised him and supplicated for him before the bier was lifted up; and I was one amongst them. Nothing attracted my attention but a person who gripped my shoulder from behind. I saw towards him and found that he was Ali. He invoked Allah mercy upon Umar and said: You have left none behind you whose deeds are so enviable that I love to meet Allah with them. By Allah; I hoped that Allah would keep you and your two associates together. I had often heard Allah Messenger ﷺ as saying: I came and there came too Abu Bakr and Umar; I entered and there entered too Abu Bakr and Umar; I went out and there went out too Abu Bakr and Umar; and I hope and think that Allah will keep you along with them.
