حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ:
حَضَرْتُ أَبِي حِينَ أُصِيبَ، قَالَ: فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا، فَقَالَ: رَاهِبٌ وَرَاغِبٌ، قَالُوا: أَوَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ ؟ قَالَ: أَتَحَمَّلُ أَمْرَكُمْ حَيًّا وَمَيِّتًا ؟ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّ حَظِّي مِنْكُمُ الْكَفَافُ لَا عَلَيَّ وَلَا لِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ فَقَدِ اسْتَخْلَفَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي، وَإِنْ أَتْرُكْكُمْ فَقَدْ تَرَكَكُمْ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي، رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ حِينَ ذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ مُسْتَخْلِفٍ

✧ I was present with my father when he was struck. He said: They praised him with good. He said: A monk and one who desires. They said: Will you not appoint a successor? He said: Should I bear your affair alive and dead? I would love that my share from you be sufficiency, neither against me nor for me. Then he said: If I appoint a successor, then one better than me appointed a successor, and if I leave you, then one better than me left you—the Messenger of God ﷺ. Abdullah b. Umar said: I knew that when he mentioned the Messenger of God ﷺ, he would not appoint a successor.
