"عن جابر قال: لَمَّا طُعِنَ عُمَرُ دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَهُو يَقُولُ: لَا تُعْجِلُوا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ، فَإِنْ أَعِشْ رَأَيْتُ فيهِ الرَّأى، وَإِنْ أَمُتْ فَهُوَ إِلَيكُمْ، قَالوا: يَا أَمِيرَ المؤْمِنِينَ: إِنَّهُ وَاللَّه قَدْ قُتِلَ وَقُطِعَ، قالَ: إِنَّا للَّه وَإِنَّا إِلَيْه رَاجِعُونَ! ! ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَيْحَكُمْ مَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالُوا: أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ قَالَ: اللَّه أَكْبَرُ، ثُمَّ نَظَر إِلى ابْنِهِ عبدِ اللَّه فَقَالَ: أَىْ بُنَىَّ! أَىَّ وَالدٍ كُنْتُ لَكَ؟ قَالَ: خَيْرُ والِدٍ، قَالَ: فَأُقْسِمُ عَلَيْكَ لَمَا احْتَمَلْتَنِى حَتَّى يَلْصَقَ خَذِّى بالأَرْضِ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ كَمَا يَمُوتُ الْعَبْدُ، فَقَال عَبْد اللَّه: وَاللَّه إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيَشْتَدُّ عَلَىَّ يَا أَبَتَاهُ! ثُمَّ قَالَ: قُمْ فَلَا تُرَاجعْنِى، فَقَام فَاحْتَمَلهُ حَتَّى أَلْصَقَ خَذَّهُ بِالأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّه! أقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ بِحَقِّ اللَّه وَحَقِّ عُمَرَ إِذَا مِتُّ فَدَفَنْتَنِى فَلَا تَغْسِلْ رَأسَكَ حَتَّى تَبِيَع مِنْ رِبَاع آلِ عُمَر ثَمَانِينَ أَلْفًا فَتَضَعَهَا فِى بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بنُ عَوْفٍ -وَكَانَ عِنْدَ رَأسِه- يَا أَمِيرَ المُؤْمِنِينَ! وَمَا قَدْرُ هَذِهِ الثَّمَانِينَ أَلْفًا؟ فَقَدْ أَضْرَرْتَ بِعِيَالِكَ، أَوْ بِآلِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: إِلِيْكَ عَنِّى يَا بْنَ عَوْفٍ! فَنَظَر إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّه فَقَالَ: يا بُنَىَّ! وَاثْنَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا أَنْفَقْتُهَا فِى اثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ حَجَّةٍ حَجَجْتُهَا فِى وِلَايَتِى وَنَوائِبَ كَانَتْ (تَنوينى) في الرُّسُلِ (تأتينى) مِنْ قِبَلِ الأَمْصَارِ، فَقَال لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحمَنِ بْنُ عَوفٍ: يَا أَمِيرَ المؤمنينَ! أَبْشِرْ وَأَحْسِنِ الظَنَّ بِاللَّه، فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا مِنَ المهَاجِرِينَ (والأَنْصَارِ) إلا وَقَدْ أَخَذَ مِثْلَ الَّذِى أَخَذْتَ مِنَ الْفَىْءِ الَّذِى جَعَلَهُ اللَّه لَنَا، وَقَد قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ، وَقَد كَانَتْ لَكَ مَعَهُ سَوَابِقُ فَقَالَ: يَا بْنَ عَوْفٍ! وَدَّ عُمَرُ أَنَّهُ لَوْ خَرَج مِنْهَا كَما دَخَلَ فِيهَا، إِنِّى أوَدُّ أَنْ أَلْقَى اللَّه فَلَا يُطَالِبُونى بِقَلِيلٍ وَلَا كَثيرٍ".

"From Jabir, who said: When 'Umar was stabbed, we entered upon him while he was saying: 'Do not hasten this man. If I live, I will form my opinion about him, and if I die, then the matter is up to you.' They said: 'O Commander of the Believers, by Allah, he has been killed and cut down.' He said: 'Indeed we belong to Allah and to Him we return!' Then he said: 'Woe to you! Who is it?' They said: 'Abu Lu'lu'ah.' He said: 'Allahu Akbar!' Then he looked at his son 'Abdullah and said: 'O my son! What kind of father was I to you?' He said: 'The best of fathers.' He said: 'I adjure you to carry me until my cheek touches the ground, until I die as a slave dies.' 'Abdullah said: 'By Allah, that is hard for me, O my father!' Then he said: 'Stand up and do not argue with me.' So he stood and carried him until his cheek touched the ground. Then he said: 'O 'Abdullah! I adjure you by the right of Allah and the right of 'Umar: when I die and you bury me, do not wash your head until you sell from the estates of the family of 'Umar eighty thousand, and place it in the treasury of the Muslims.' 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, who was at his head, said: 'O Commander of the Believers! What is the value of these eighty thousand? You have harmed your dependents, or the family of 'Umar.' He said: 'Away from me, O son of 'Awf!' Then he looked at 'Abdullah and said: 'O my son! And thirty-two thousand that I spent in twelve pilgrimages I performed during my governorship, and in emergencies that befell me from the regions that reached me.' 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf said to him: 'O Commander of the Believers! Rejoice and think well of Allah, for none of us among the Muhajirun (and the Ansar) has not taken the like of what you have taken from the fay' which Allah made for us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while he was pleased with you, and you had great precedence with him.' He said: 'O son of 'Awf! 'Umar wishes that he had come out of it just as he entered it. Indeed I wish to meet Allah without them holding anything against me, be it little or much.'"
