“From Ibn 'Abbas, who said: 'Umar called me when he had been stabbed, and said: “Memorize three qualities from me. Whoever says anything about them has lied: whoever says, ‘I left behind a slave,’ has lied; whoever says, ‘I ruled concerning al-kalalah with something,’ has lied; and whoever says, ‘I designated the successor after me,’ has lied.” Then 'Umar wept. Ibn 'Abbas said to him: “What makes you weep, O Commander of the Believers?” He said: “What makes me weep is the matter of my afterlife.” Ibn 'Abbas said: “Indeed, in you, O Commander of the Believers, are three qualities with which Allah will never punish you, if Allah wills: when you speak, you are truthful; when you judge, you are just; and when you are asked for mercy, you show mercy.” He said: “Will you bear witness for me with them before my Lord, O Ibn 'Abbas?” He said: “Yes.”
