Hadith of Abdullah ibn Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، ٢٢٥٠٣ - حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهْرَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ أَبُو عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَأَنْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا نَفْسِي. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ ". فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَأَنْتَ الْآنَ وَاللهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْآنَ يَا عُمَرُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) was holding the hand of Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him). Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! I swear by Allah that you are more beloved to me than everything except my own self." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None of you can be a complete believer until I become more beloved to him than his own self." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "By Allah! Now you are more beloved to me than my own self." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Umar! Now it is complete."

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهْرَةُ أَبُو عَقِيلٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ: أَنَّ جَدَّهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ " احْتَلَمَ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَكَحَ النِّسَاءَ " (٢)، ،

Zahra Abu Aqil (may Allah have mercy on him) says that his grandfather, Abdullah bin Hisham (may Allah be pleased with him), had reached adulthood during the blessed era of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and had also married.
