حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّلْحِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ الْمَدِينِيُّ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُصَافِحُهُ الْحَقُّ عُمَرُ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ فَيُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ " .

Isma'il ibn Muhammad al-Talhi informed us; Dawud ibn 'Ata al-Madani informed us, from Salih ibn Kaysan, from Ibn Shihab, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, from Ubayy ibn Ka'b, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The first with whom the Real will shake hands is 'Umar; he will be the first greeted, and the first whose hand He will take and lead into Paradise.

The Arabic uses al-Haqq, “the Real/the Truth”; the witness renders this explicitly as Allah.
