حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَوْدِيِّ
تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي طَائِفَةٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ: فَجَاءَ، فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ، فَقَبَّلَهُ وَقَالَ: فِدًى لكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي مَا أَطْيَبَكَ حَيًّا، وَمَيِّتًا، مَاتَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ... فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ. قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ يَتَقَاوَدَانِ حَتَّى أَتَوْهُمْ، فَتَكَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئًا أُنْزِلَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ، وَلَا ذَكَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ شَأْنِهِمْ إِلَّا وَذَكَرَهُ وَقَالَ: وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: لَوْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِيًا وَسَلَكَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَادِيًا سَلَكْتُ وَادِيَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ يَا سَعْدُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَأَنْتَ قَاعِدٌ: قُرَيْشٌ، وُلَاةُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ، فَبَرُّ النَّاسِ تَبَعٌ لِبَرِّهِمْ، وَفَاجِرُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِفَاجِرِهِمْ قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ: صَدَقْتَ نَحْنُ الْوُزَرَاءُ، وَأَنْتُمُ الْأُمَرَاءُ.

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ passed away while Abu Bakr was in a part of the city. He said: Then he came, uncovered his face, kissed him, and said: May my father and mother be your ransom, how good you are alive and dead. Muhammad ﷺ has died, by the Lord of the Ka'bah... Then he mentioned the hadith. He said: Then Abu Bakr and Umar went walking together, leaning on each other, until they came to them. Abu Bakr spoke and did not leave anything that was revealed about the Ansar or that the Messenger of God ﷺ mentioned of their affair but that he mentioned it and said: You know that the Messenger of God ﷺ said: If the people were to take one valley and the Ansar another valley, I would take the valley of the Ansar. And you know, O Sa'd, that the Messenger of God ﷺ said while you were sitting: Quraysh are the guardians of this affair, the righteous of the people follow their righteous, and the wicked of them follow their wicked. He said: Then Sa'd said to him: You have spoken truthfully; we are the ministers and you are the commanders.
