It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Allah Almighty caused His Prophet to pass away, while we had not yet asked what is the salvation in this matter. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I had asked this question to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I got up and went to him and said: May my parents be sacrificed for you, you were more deserving of this. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the salvation in this matter? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever accepted from me that word which I presented to my uncle, but he did not accept it, then that word will be salvation for him.
