1. On the authority of Abdullaah bin Umar may Allah be pleased with them :
Once he was leaving to Makkah, he was riding on a donkey and when the donkey would get tired he would ride the camel, and the head of it was very strong. It was like this during the days with the donkey. Once an arab passed by and said : Are you the son of so and so who is the son of so and so ? he said , No rather occupy my donkey, and said ride this and said it is strong on his head, so some of his companions said to him may Allah forgive you, then came the arab withthe donkey, and was too firm on your head? I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) say :
| Indeed from honouring is greeting the man who is from the people loved by your father and indeed is a walee. and indeed his was a friend of Umar may Allah be pleased with them. |
2. On the authority of Abee Barda who said, I came to Madeenah, and Abdullaah bin Umar came and said : I had knowledge that you were not coming ? he said no, he said he heard the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) say :
| Who loves to greet his father in his grave, should greet the brothers (friends) of his father after him. and indeed between Abee Umar and between your father it was like this and they loved to greet that time. |
3. On the authority of Abdullaah bin Umar may Allah be pleased with them that the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said :
| From honouring is greeting the friends of your father |
