Narrated Ibn `Abbas: `Umar bin Al-Khattab used to let Ibn `Abbas sit beside him, so `AbdurRahman bin `Auf said to `Umar, We have sons similar to him. `Umar replied, (I respect him) because of his status that you know. `Umar then asked Ibn `Abbas about the meaning of this Holy Verse:-- When comes the help of Allah and the conquest of Mecca . . . (110.1) Ibn `Abbas replied, That indicated the death of Allah's Apostle which Allah informed him of. `Umar said, I do not understand of it except what you understand.
