Hadith of the grandfather of Zuhrah ibn Ma'bad (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ جَدِّ زُهْرَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ، ١٨٩٦١ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ زُهْرَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَأَنْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، إِلَّا نَفْسِي، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي، ، بِيَدِهِ، لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ ". قَالَ عُمَرُ: (١) فَأَنْتَ الْآنَ وَاللهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْآنَ يَا عُمَرُ " (٢)، ،

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