حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ: عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ:

لَمَّا أُصِيبَ قَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: أَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ: مَا أَجِدُ أَحَدًا أَحَقَّ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ، فَسَمَّى عَلِيًّا وَعُثْمَانَ وَطَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرَ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَسَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، وَقَالَ: لِيَشْهَدْهُمْ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ، فَمَنِ اسْتَخْلَفُوهُ فَهُوَ الْخَلِيفَةُ بَعْدِي، فَإِنْ أَصَابَتْ سَعْدًا وَإِلَّا فَلْيَسْتَعِنْ بِهِ الْخَلِيفَةُ بَعْدِي؛ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَنْزِعْهُ مِنْ ضَعْفٍ وَلَا خِيَانَةٍ

✧ When he was struck, Abd Allah b. Umar said to him, 'Will you not appoint a successor, O Commander of the Faithful?' He said, 'I do not find anyone more deserving of this matter than those with whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased when he passed away.' He named Ali, Uthman, Talhah, al-Zubayr, Abd al-Rahman b. Awf, and Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas. He said, 'Let Abd Allah b. Umar witness them, but he has no share in the matter. Whomever they appoint as successor is the caliph after me. If it falls to Sa'd, then good; otherwise, let the caliph after me seek his assistance, for I did not remove him due to weakness or treachery.'
