حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ 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 اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لَا يَبِيدُ وَقُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْفَدُ وَمُرَافَقَةَ النَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4165
It was narrated that 'Abdullah (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) passed by me when i was praying and said: "Ask, you will be given, O son of Umm 'Abd." 'Umar said: Abu Bakr and I raced and Abu Bakr beat me to him. We never competed with Abu Bakr in anything good but Abu Bakr beat me to it. He ['Abdullah] said: Part of my supplication that I almost never omit to say is: O Allah, I ask You for blessing that never ends and joy that never ceases and to accompany the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the highest part of Paradise, the Paradise of eternity.
