3-226 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Abdullah ibn al-Hassan al-Mo’adab quoted Ahmad ibn Ali al-Isbahany, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Saqafy, on the authority of Al-Mas’oodi, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Himad al-Ta’ee, on the authority of Zyad ibn al-Monzar, on the authority of Atiye that he thinks that Jabir ibn Abdullah said, “I witnessed that Umar said the following when he faced death:

‘I repent to God for the following three things:1- Freeing the atheist slaves from Yemen captured by the Muslims;2- Not obeying Usamah whom God’s Prophet (MGB) appointed as the Chief of the Army; and3- We pledged to each other not to let any of the Prophet’s (MGB) family succeed the Prophet (MGB) when God took away his life.’”
