حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ وَعِصَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالا حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ وَرَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَغَيْرِهِمَا قَالُوالَمَّا بَلَغَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ سَرْغَ حُدِّثَ أَنَّ بِالشَّامِ وَبَاءً شَدِيدًا قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ شِدَّةَ الْوَبَاءِ فِي الشَّامِ فَقُلْتُ إِنْ أَدْرَكَنِي أَجَلِي وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ حَيٌّ اسْتَخْلَفْتُهُ فَإِنْ سَأَلَنِي اللهُ لِمَ اسْتَخْلَفْتَهُ عَلَى أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ؟ قُلْتُ إِنِّي
لَمَّا بَلَغَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ سَرْغَ حُدِّثَ أَنَّ بِالشَّامِ وَبَاءً شَدِيدًا قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ شِدَّةَ الْوَبَاءِ فِي الشَّامِ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنْ أَدْرَكَنِي أَجَلِي، وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ حَيٌّ اسْتَخْلَفْتُهُ، فَإِنْ سَأَلَنِي اللهُ لِمَ اسْتَخْلَفْتَهُ عَلَى أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ ؟ قُلْتُ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَكَ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ أَمِينًا وَأَمِينِي أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ فَأَنْكَرَ الْقَوْمُ ذَلِكَ وَقَالُوا: مَا بَالُ عُلْيَى قُرَيْشٍ، يَعْنُونَ بَنِي فِهْرٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: فَإِنْ أَدْرَكَنِي أَجَلِي وَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ اسْتَخْلَفْتُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ، فَإِنْ سَأَلَنِي رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِمَ اسْتَخْلَفْتَهُ ؟ قُلْتُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَكَ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ يُحْشَرُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْعُلَمَاءِ نَبْذَةً.

✧ When Umar b. al-Khattab reached Sargh, he was told that there was a severe plague in Syria. He said: It has reached me that the plague is severe in Syria. I said: If my term overtakes me while Abu 'Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah is alive, I will appoint him as my successor. If Allah asks me why I appointed him over the community of Muhammad ﷺ, I will say: I heard Your Messenger ﷺ say: Indeed, every prophet has a trustee, and my trustee is Abu 'Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah. The people objected to that and said: What about the nobility of Quraysh? — meaning Banu Fihr. Then he said: If my term overtakes me and Abu 'Ubaydah has died, I will appoint Mu'adh b. Jabal as my successor. If my Lord, Mighty and Majestic, asks me why I appointed him, I will say: I heard Your Messenger ﷺ say: Indeed, he will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection before the scholars at a short distance.
