Riyad as-Salihin, 713
'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I sought permission of the Prophet (ﷺ) to perform 'Umrah, and he granted me leave and said, "Brother, do not forget us in your supplications." I would not exchange these words of his for the whole world. Another narration is: He (ﷺ) said, "Include us, my brother, in your supplications." <b>[Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi]</b>.
وعن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه قال: استأذنت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم في العمرة، فأذن ، وقال:
لا تنسانا يا أخي من دعائك
فقال كلمة ما يسرني أن لي بها الدنيا. وفي رواية قال: “أشركنا يا أخي في دعائك” ((رواه أبوداود، والترمذي وقال: حديث حسن صحيح)).
