"عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ: أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمَا مَثَلَكُمَا فِي الْمَلَائكَةِ وَمَثَلَكُمَا فِي الأَنْبيَاءِ: أَمَّا مَثَلُكَ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فِي الْمَلَائِكَةِ كَمَثَلِ مِيكَائِيلَ يَنْزِلُ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَمَثَلُكَ فِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ كَمَثَلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِذْ كَذَّبَهُ قَوْمُهُ فَصَنَعُوا بِهِ مَا صَنَعُوا، قَاَل: {فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ} ( )، وَمَثَلُكَ يَا عُمَرُ فِي الْمَلَائِكَةِ كَمَثَلِ جِبْرِيل يَنْزِلُ بِالْبَأسِ وَالشِّدَّةِ وَالنِّقْمَةِ عَلَى أَعْدَاءِ الله، وَمَثَلُكَ فِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ كَمَثَلِ نُوحٍ إِذْ قَالَ: {رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا} ( ) ".

"On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet ﷺ said to Abu Bakr and 'Umar: 'Shall I not inform you of your likeness among the angels and your likeness among the prophets? As for your likeness, O Abu Bakr, among the angels, it is like Mika'il, who descends with mercy. And your likeness among the prophets is like Ibrahim when his people denied him and did to him what they did.' He said: {Whoever follows me is of me, and whoever disobeys me, indeed You are Forgiving and Merciful} ( ). 'And your likeness, O 'Umar, among the angels is like Jibril, who descends with severity, harshness and vengeance upon the enemies of Allah. And your likeness among the prophets is like Nuh when he said: {My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant} ( ).'"
