English Translation

'Abdullah ibn Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "We were with the Prophet (peace be upon him) while he was holding the hand of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. 'Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you are more beloved to me than everything except my own self.' The Prophet said: 'No, by the One in Whose hand is my soul, not until I am more beloved to you than your own self.' 'Umar said: 'Now, by Allah, you are more beloved to me than my own self.' The Prophet said: 'Now, O 'Umar (you have attained complete faith).'"
