‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhu) was very generous and serious after the demise of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)

Is this narration reliable?

Narrated Aslam [the freed slave of ‘Umar radiyallahu ‘anhu], ‘Ibn Umar asked me about some matters concerning ‘Umar’. Aslam said: ‘Since Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) passed away, I have never seen anybody more serious and generous than ‘Umar ibn Al Khattab, right until he passed away.’

Answer:

Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this Hadith in his Sahih. The Hadith is therefore authentic.

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 3687)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
