"عَنْ أَبِى عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ جَدَّهِ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَد عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ: أَتُحِبُّنِى يَا عُمَرُ؟ قَالَ. لأَنْتَ (أَحَبُّ) إلَىَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ إِلَّا نَفْسِى، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : وَالَّذِي نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى أكوُن أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ، فَقَالَ عُمرُ: فَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ الله أَحَبُّ إلَىَّ مِنْ نَفْسِى، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : الآنَ يَا عُمَرُ".
