Ibn Abu Mulaika reported:I heard Ibn 'Abbas as saying: When 'Umar b. Khattab 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's 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's 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

حدثنا سعيد بن عمرو الاشعثي، وابو الربيع العتكي، وابو كريب محمد بن العلاء - واللفظ لابي كريب - قال ابو الربيع حدثنا وقال الاخران، اخبرنا ابن المبارك، عن عمر بن سعيد بن ابي حسين، عن ابن ابي مليكة، قال سمعت ابن عباس، يقول وضع عمر بن الخطاب على سريره فتكنفه الناس يدعون ويثنون ويصلون عليه قبل ان يرفع وانا فيهم - قال - فلم يرعني الا برجل قد اخذ بمنكبي من ورايي فالتفت اليه فاذا هو علي فترحم على عمر وقال ما خلفت احدا احب الى ان القى الله بمثل عمله منك وايم الله ان كنت لاظن ان يجعلك الله مع صاحبيك وذاك اني كنت اكثر اسمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " جيت انا وابو بكر وعمر ودخلت انا وابو بكر وعمر وخرجت انا وابو بكر وعمر " . فان كنت لارجو او لاظن ان يجعلك الله معهما
