Muwatta Malik

موطأ مالك

32
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، كَانَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَجْعَلْ قَتْلِي بِيَدِ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى لَكَ سَجْدَةً وَاحِدَةً يُحَاجُّنِي بِهَا عِنْدَكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Umar ibnal-Khattab used to say, "O Allah! Do not let me be slain by the handof a man who has prayed a single prostration to You with which he willdispute with me before You on the Day of Rising!"
