Hadrat Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Mehdi – may Allah be pleased with him – narrates:

 

Hadrat Sayyiduna Sufyan – may Allah be pleased with him – once spent the night with me and when he became extremely perturbed, he began to weep. Someone asked him, “O Abu Abdullah! Are you weeping because of excessive sin?” Hadrat Sayyiduna Sufyan – may Allah be pleased with him – picked up a stick from the floor and stated, “I swear by Allah that sin with me is even lessor than this stick, what I fear (the most) is that before death my Imaan is not taken away.” (Sifatus Safwah)

 

Hadrat Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hishaam – may Allah be pleased with him – narrates that once the Holy Prophet – may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him – was going somewhere in the company of the blessed Ashaab and he was holding the hand of Hadrat Sayyiduna ‘Umar – may Allah be pleased with him. Displaying his immense love and reverence for the Holy Prophet – may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, Hadrat Sayyiduna ‘Umar – may Allah be pleased with him – remarked, “Besides my own life, the Holy Prophet – may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him – is most beloved to me.”

When the Holy Prophet – may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him – heard this, he declared, “None of you can be a complete believer until and unless I am not more beloved to him than his own life.”

 

Hadrat Sayyiduna ‘Umar – may Allah be pleased with him – then declared, “O Prophet of Allah! I swear in the Name of the Allah Almighty that you are more beloved to me than my own life.”

 

The Holy Prophet – may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him – stated, “O ‘‘Umar! Now your Imaan has become complete.” (Sahih Bukhari)
