"عَنْ أَبِى مَطَرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّا يَقُولُ: دَخَلْتُ عَلى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَجَاءَهُ أَبُو لُؤْلُؤَةَ وَهُوَ يَبْكِى، فَقُلْتُ: ما يُبْكِيكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ: أَبْكَانِى خَبَرُ السَّمَاءِ أَيُذْهَبُ بِى إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ أَمْ إِلَى النَّارِ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَبْشِرْ بِالْجَنَّةِ، فَإِنِّى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ مَا لَا أُحْصِيهِ يَقُولُ: سَيِّدا كُهُولِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَأَنْعَمَا، فَقَالَ: أَشَاهِدٌ أَنْتَ لِى يَا عَلِىُّ بِالْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَأَنْتَ يَا حَسَنُ فَاشْهَدْ عَلَى أَبِيكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قال: إِنَّ عُمَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ".

"Narrated from Abu Matar, who said: I heard 'Ali say: I entered upon 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and Abu Lu'lu'ah came to him while he was weeping. I said: 'What makes you weep, O Commander of the Faithful?' He said: 'The news from heaven makes me weep: will I be taken to Paradise or to the Fire?' I said to him: 'Rejoice in Paradise, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say countless times: The leaders of the middle-aged people of Paradise are Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and they are the best.' He said: 'Do you bear witness for me, O 'Ali, that I am in Paradise?' He said: 'Yes. And you, O Hasan, bear witness on behalf of your father that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Indeed 'Umar is among the people of Paradise.'"
