[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was praying, and he said, "Ask, and you shall be given, O son of the Slave of Abdullah." So Abu Bakr and Umar rushed forward. Umar said, "Abu Bakr does not rush ahead of me in anything except that he precedes me to it." They asked him about his statement, and he said, "One of my supplications that I rarely fail to make is: O Allah, I ask You for an everlasting bliss that never fades, the coolness of the eyes that never ceases, and the companionship of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the highest paradise, the paradise of eternity."  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فَقَالَ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ فَابْتَدَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ قَالَ عُمَرُ مَا بَادَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِلَى شَيْءٍ إِلَّا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَسَأَلَاهُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ فَقَالَ مِنْ دُعَائِي الَّذِي لَا أَكَادُ أَدَعُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لَا يَبِيدُ وَقُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْفَدُ وَمُرَافَقَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ  

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ was with Abu Bakr and Umar, and Abdullah was praying. The Prophet ﷺ opened the door for the women and allowed them in. Then, he said, "Whoever wishes to recite the Quran fresh, as it was revealed, should recite it according to the recitation of Ibn Umm Abd." Then, he advanced and asked for something. So, the Prophet ﷺ started saying, "Ask and you shall be given, ask and you shall be given, ask and you shall be given." Then, he said about what he asked, "O Allah, I ask You for unwavering faith, endless favor, and to be in the company of Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the highest gardens of everlasting paradise." Omar came to Abdullah to give him the good news, but found that Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had already beaten him to it. He said, "If you had done it, you would have indeed been the first to do good."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَتَاهُ بَيْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ يُصَلِّي فَافْتَتَحَ النِّسَاءَ فَسَحَلَهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْيَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ سْأَلُ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ فَقَالَ فِيمَا سَأَلَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَانًا لَا يَرْتَدُّ وَنَعِيمًا لَا يَنْفَدُ وَمُرَافَقَةَ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فِي أَعْلَى جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ قَالَ فَأَتَى عُمَرُ عَبْدَ اللهِ لِيُبَشِّرَهُ فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ رِضْوَانُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ قَدْ سَبَقَهُ فَقَالَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ لَقَدْ كُنْتَ سَبَّاقًا بِالْخَيْرِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah passed by me while I was praying. He said, "Ask him for something, O son of Umm Abd." So Umar ibn al-Khattab spoke up and said, "I requested it before you, Abu Bakr, and we never asked for anything but Abu Bakr would always get ahead of me." Abu Bakr said, "Indeed, among my supplications that I almost never neglect is: O Allah, I ask You for an eternal bliss that never perishes, a comfort that never fades, and the companionship of the Prophet Muhammad in the highest level of Paradise, the Garden of Eternity."  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فَقَالَ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَابْتَدَرْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَسَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَمَا اسْتَبَقْنَا إِلَى خَيْرٍ إِلَّا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ دُعَائِي الَّذِي لَا أَكَادُ أَنْ أَدَعَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًالَا يَبِيدُ وَقُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْفَدُ وَمُرَافَقَةَ النَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was praying, and he said, "Ask and you shall be given, O son of Umme Abd." Omar said, "I started doing it, along with Abu Bakr. But Abu Bakr surpassed me and said, 'Verily, among my supplications that I hardly fail to make is O Allah, I ask You for eternal bliss that never perishes, and the delight of the eye that never fades, and the companionship of the Prophet ﷺ in the highest paradise.'  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فَقَالَ «سَلْ تُعْطَهْ يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَابْتَدَرْتُهُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَسَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ دُعَائِي الَّذِي لَا أَكَادُ أَدَعُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لَا يَبِيدُ وَقُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْفَدُ وَمُرَافَقَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي أَعْلَى جُنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by Abu Bakr and Umar while Abdullah was praying, and he began reciting Surah An-Nisa (The Women). Abdullah stumbled in his recitation, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever wishes to recite the Quran as it was revealed should recite it in the manner of Ibn Umm 'Abd.' Then the Prophet ﷺ sat and asked for something, and he repeated, 'Ask and you will be given, ask and you will be given.' He said, 'O Allah, I ask You for faith that will not wane, blessings that will not diminish, and the companionship of our Prophet Muhammad in the highest paradise of eternity.' Then Umar came to Abdullah to give him glad tidings, but he found that Abu Bakr had already beaten him to it. He said, 'If you had done it, you would have been the first in goodness.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بَيْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي فَافْتَتَحَ بِسُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَسَحَلَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ غَضًّا كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَلْيَقْرَأْهُ عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ ابْنِ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ» ثُمَّ قَعَدَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «سَلْ تُعْطَهْ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ» فَقَالَ فِيمَا يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَانًا لَا يَرْتَدُّ وَنَعِيمًا لَا يَنْفَدُ وَمُرَافَقَةَ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ فِي أَعْلَى جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ فَأَتَى عُمَرُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ لِيُبَشِّرَهُ فَوَجَدَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدْ سَبَقَهُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ إِنَّكَ لَسَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرِ
