It is narrated from Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), in his own time (given the delicacy of circumstances, on account of his abstinence and steadfastness), was more virtuous than Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was in his own time.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: We have not seen anyone who held more firmly to the original way (of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Rightly Guided Caliphs) than Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both).

It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyab that he said: If I could testify about anyone that he is certainly among the people of Paradise, I would testify so about Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both).
