Musnad Ahmad 259

Translation

✧ I saw Umar holding a palm stalk and seating the people, saying: Listen to the words of the caliph of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then a freedman of Abu Bakr called Shadid came with a scroll and read it to the people, saying: Abu Bakr says: Listen and obey the one in this scroll, for by Allah I have not failed you. Qays said: After that I saw Umar on the pulpit.
