Ibrahim al-Taymi reported: A man in front of Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, was saying, “O Allah, make me among the few.” Umar said, “What is this supplication?” The man said, “I heard Allah say: And few of My servants are grateful, (34:13). So I call upon Allah to make me among these few.” Umar said, “All of the people know better than Umar!”

عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْقَلِيلِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي تَدْعُو بِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ وَقَلِيلٌ مِنْ عِبَادِي الشَّكُورُ فَأَنَا أَدْعُو أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ أُولَئِكَ الْقَلِيلِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ كُلُّ النَّاسِ أَعْلَمُ مِنْ عُمَرَ
