"عَنْ أَبِى جَعْفَرٍ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا صَحِبَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، فَمَاتَ في الطَّرِيقِ فَاحْتَبَسَ عَلَيْهِ عُمَرُ حَتَّى صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَدَفَنَهُ، فَقَلَّ يَوْمٌ إِلَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ يتَمثَّلُ يَقُولُ: وَبَالِغِ أَمْرٍ كَانَ يَأْمُلُ دُونَهُ... ومُخْتَلِجٍ منْ دُونِ مَا كَانَ يَأْمُلُ".

"From Abu Ja'far: A man accompanied Umar ibn al-Khattab to Makkah, and he died on the way. Umar stayed with him until he prayed over him and buried him. Afterwards, hardly a day passed without Umar reciting the verse: 'And the far-reaching hope he aspired to... and one snatched away short of what he was hoping for.'"
