It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both); he said: I came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) when he had been wounded, and I said: "O Amir al-Mu'minin, receive the glad tidings of Paradise! You believed when people were disbelieving; you strove in jihad alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when people abandoned him (peace and blessings be upon him); then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away while he was pleased with you; not even two people disagreed about your caliphate; and now you are being granted martyrdom." He said: "Repeat what you said." So I repeated those words. Then he said: "By Allah, besides whom there is no true deity, if I had all the gold and silver on the face of the earth, I would give it as a ransom to be saved from the terror that lies ahead (that is, death and the stages after it)."
