Dua of Umar to be among the righteous

adab:629Abū Nuʿaym > ʿAmr b. ʿAbdullāh Abū Muʿāwiyah > Muhājir Abū al-Ḥasan > ʿAmr b. Maymūn al-Awdī > ʿUmar

that he (Umar) used to make dua with his words: 

allāhumma tawaffanī maʿa al-abrār, wa-lā tukhallifnī fī al-ashrār, wa-alḥiqnī bi-al-akhyār.

Allah, let me die with the pious and do not leave me among the evil. Join me to the doers of good."

الأدب المفرد:٦٢٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُهَاجِرٌ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الأَوْدِيِّ عَنْ عُمَرَ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِيمَا يَدْعُو: 

(اللَّهُمَّ تَوَفَّنِي مَعَ الأَبْرَارِ، وَلاَ تُخَلِّفْنِي فِي الأَشْرَارِ، وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالأخْيَارِ)
