[Machine] He saw the Prophet ﷺ sitting between Abu Bakr and Umar. So Umar ibn Abdul Aziz came and sat on his right to sit between him and Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah, I did not think that you would sit between me and anyone else." So he inclined towards Umar's side to let him sit between him and Abu Bakr. Umar said, as Abu Bakr had said, "May Allah have mercy on him." So he placed him in front of him.  

أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَالِسًا بَيْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَأَوَى إِلَيْهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ لِيَجْلِسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ تُجْلِسُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ أَحَدًا فَأَوْمَى إِلَيْهِ نَاحِيَةَ عُمَرَ لِيُجْلِسَهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ كَمَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَأَجْلَسَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ
