حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ بَالَوَيْهِ قَالَا ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمَعْمَرِيُّ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ شُجَاعٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو قَالَ حَدَّثَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ وَأَشْيَاخُنَا أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ لَمَّا
طُعِنَ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ اذْهَبْ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَأَقْرِئْ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامَ وَقُلْ إِنَّ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ لَكِ إِنْ كَانَ لَا يَضُرُّكِ وَلَا يُضَيِّقُ عَلَيْكِ فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُدْفَنَ مَعَ صَاحِبَيَّ وَإِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ يَضُرُّكِ وَيُضَيَّقُ عَلَيْكِ فَلَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ دُفِنَ فِي هَذَا الْبَقِيعِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عُمَرَ فَجَاءَهَا الرَّسُولُ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَضُرُّنِي وَلَا يُضَيِّقُ عَلَيَّ قَالَ «فَادْفِنُونِي مَعَهُمَا»

✧ He was stabbed, so he said to Abdullah, “Go to Aisha and convey my greetings to her, and say that Umar says to you: If it does not harm you or constrain you, then I would love to be buried with my two companions. But if that harms you or would be constraining for you, then by my life, there have been buried in this Baqi from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the mothers of the believers those who are better than Umar.” The messenger came to her, and she said, “That does not harm me or constrain me.” He said, “Then bury me with them.”
