[Machine] A man said to 'Amr ibn al-'As, "Did you not see a man who died while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ loved him? Was he not a righteous man?" 'Amr replied, "Yes, indeed." He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has died while he loved you and utilized your services." 'Amr said, "Indeed, he utilized me, but by Allah, I do not know whether he loved me or sought my assistance. However, I will tell you about two men whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ loved and they loved him: Abdullah ibn Mas'ud and 'Ammar ibn Yasir."
