حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعُمَرَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ مَقَالَةً فَآلَيْتُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعُمَرَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ مَقَالَةً فَآلَيْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَهَا لَكَ: زَعَمُوا أَنَّكَ غَيْرُ مُسْتَخْلِفٍ، فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ سَاعَةً، ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَحْفَظُ دِينَهُ، وَإِنِّي إِنْ لَا أَسْتَخْلِفْ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَسْتَخْلِفْ، وَإِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ فَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدِ اسْتَخْلَفَ، قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ ذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ، فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْدِلُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَدًا، وَأَنَّهُ غَيْرُ مُسْتَخْلِفٍ

✧ He said to Umar: I heard people saying something, so I resolved to tell you: They claim that you will not appoint a successor. He lowered his head for a while, then raised it and said: Allah, Mighty and Majestic, preserves His religion. If I do not appoint a successor, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not appoint one; and if I do appoint one, Abu Bakr did appoint one. He said: By Allah, it was only when he mentioned the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr that I knew he would not equate anyone with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and that he would not appoint a successor.
