[Machine] 'Omar bin Al-Khattab proposed to marry Zainab bint Jahsh four times, and then he sent a message to the Prophet's ﷺ wives asking, "Who will enter her grave?" They replied, "Whoever used to have intimate relations with her during her lifetime." This narration was reported from Ya'la bin 'Ubaid through Isma'il, and it was amplified. 'Omar was pleased with the idea that he would be buried with her. When they told him what they said, he said, "They have spoken the truth."'
