It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought and placed between the pulpit and the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came and stood in front of the rows and said three times: May Allah’s mercy be upon you. After the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there is no human being among Allah’s creation, apart from this shrouded man, with whom I would prefer to go to Allah with a record of deeds like his.
