:: "[[Abu Bakr]] came to the Prophet (s). The Prophet told him: 'Go and greet Amir al-Mu'minin.' Abu Bakr said: 'even now that you are still alive?' The Prophet (s) said: 'Yes.' Then [['Umar b. al-Khattab]] came and the Prophet (s) said the same to him."

However, Sunni Muslims believe that after the demise of the Prophet (s), 'Umar was the first [[Caliph]] who used the title of "Amir al-Mu'minin" for himself. [[Ibn Khaldun]] took [['Abd Allah b. Jahsh]] to be the first person who gave the title to 'Umar, but some others took [['Amr b. al-'As]] or [[Mughayra b. Shu'ba]] to be the first people who gave the title to 'Umar. However, 'Abd Allah b. Jahsh died before the [[caliphate]] of 'Umar, and so he cannot be the one who gave the title to 'Umar.
