We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he was holding the hand of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. 'Umar said to him, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! You are dearer to me than everything except my ownself." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you than your ownself." Then 'Umar said to him, "However, now, by Allâh, you are dearer to me than my ownself." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Now, 'Umar, (now you are a believer)." [8:628-0.B]
