حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَأَنَّ عُمَرَ قِيلَ لَهُ

أَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنْ أَتْرُكْ فَقَدْ تَرَكَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي؛ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَإِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ، فَقَدِ اسْتَخْلَفَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي؛ أَبُو بَكْرٍ.
