Jabir Narrated from:
Jabir reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I entered Paradise and saw in it a house or a palace. I said: For whom is it reserved? They (the Angels) said: It is for 'Umar b. Khattab. (The Prophet said to 'Umar b. Khattab): I intended to get into it but I thought of your feelings. Thereupon 'Umar wept and said: Apostle of Allah, could I feel any jealousy in your case?
