َيْءٍ إِلَّا نَفْسِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ عِنْدَهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَأَنْتَ الْآنَ وَاللَّهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْآنَ يَا عُمَرُ

Qutaybah ibn Saʿīd narrated to us, Ibn Lahīʿah narrated to us, from Zuhrah ibn Maʿbad, from his grandfather, who said: We were with the Prophet ﷺ and he was holding the hand of ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه. ʿUmar said: 'By Allāh, you, O Messenger of Allāh, are more beloved to me than everything except myself.' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'None of you truly believes until I am more beloved to him than his own self.' ʿUmar said: 'Then by Allāh, you are now more beloved to me than my own self.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Now, O ʿUmar.'
