Sahih al-Bukhari 3534 (Book 62, Hadith 42)
said to him, “O Chief of the believers! Never mind what has happened to you, for you have been in
the company of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and you kept good relations with him and you parted with him while
he was pleased with you. Then you were in the company of Abu 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 “Abbas), “As for what you have said
about the company of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and his being pleased with me, it is a favor, Allah did to me;
and as for what you have said about the company of Abu Bakr and his being pleased with me, it is a
favor Allah did to me; and concerning my impatience which you see, is because of you and your
companions. By Allah! If (at all) I had gold equal to the earth, I would have ransomed myself with it
from the Punishment of Allah before I meet Him.”
