“O Allah, strengthen Islam through whichever of these two men is dearer to You: Abū Jahl or ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb.”
He said: Of the two, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb was dearer to Him.
٣١٢ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قثنا أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قثنا خَارِجَةُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ أَعِزَّ الْإِسْلَامَ بِأَحَبِّ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ إِلَيْكَ بِأَبِي جَهْلٍ، أَوْ بِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ» ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ أَحَبَّهُمَا إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ.
