Narrator:Al-Miswar ibn Makhrama
وَعَن المِسور بن مَخْرَمةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا طُعِنَ عُمَرُ جَعَلَ يَأْلَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَكَأَنَّهُ يُجَزِّعُهُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلَا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَقَدْ صَحِبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ صُحْبَتَهُ ثُمَّ فَارَقَكَ وَهُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ ثُمَّ صَحِبْتَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَأَحْسَنْتَ صُحْبَتَهُ ثُمَّ فَارَقَكَ وَهُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ ثُمَّ صَحِبْتَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ صُحْبَتَهُمْ وَلَئِنْ فَارَقْتَهُمْ لَتُفَارِقَنَّهُمْ وَهُمْ عَنْكَ رَاضُونَ. قَالَ: أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ صُحْبَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم وَرضَاهُ فَإِنَّمَا ذَاك مَنٌّ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ صُحْبَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَرِضَاهُ فَإِنَّمَا ذَلِك من من الله جلّ ذكره مَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيَّ. وَأَمَّا مَا تَرَى مِنْ جزعي فَهُوَ من أَجلك وَأجل أَصْحَابِكَ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي طِلَاعَ الْأَرْضِ ذَهَبا لافتديت بِهِ من عَذَاب الله عز وَجل قبل أَن أرَاهُ. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Al-Miswar b. Makhrama said:
When `Umar was stabbed he began to suffer, and Ibn `Abbas who seemed to be trying to console him said, "Do not worry about all that. You were a good companion to God's messenger and when he left you, he was pleased with you; you were a good companion to Abu Bakr and when he left you, he was pleased with you; you have been a good companion to the Muslims and if you leave them, you will do so when they are pleased with you." He replied, "As for what you have mentioned about my companionship with God's messenger and his good pleasure, that was simply a favour from God which He bestowed on me; as for what you have mentioned about my companionship with Abu Bakr and his good pleasure, that was simply a favour from God which He bestowed on me; but as for my anxiety which you see, it is on account of you and your companions. I swear by God that if I had as much gold as would fill the earth, I would ransom myself with it from God's punishment before seeing Him." Bukhari transmitted.
