154 – Abu Saʿid al-Madani related to us; Muhammad ibn Maslamah al-Makhzumi narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Dinar told me; ʿUbayd Allah ibn ʿUmar told me, from Nafiʿ on the authority of Ibn ʿUmar, and from Zayd ibn Aslam on the authority of Ibn ʿUmar, who said:

ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) once said, “Make a wish.” They began to voice their wishes, then said, “You make a wish, O Commander of the Believers.” He replied, “I wish this house were filled with men like Abu ʿUbaydah ibn al-Jarrah.”
