حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَضَّاحٍ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الْيَقْظَانِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ؓ قَالَ:

قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ عَلَيْنَا ؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي إِنِ اسْتَخْلَفْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَعْصُونَ خَلِيفَتِي يَنْزِلْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعَذَابُ قَالُوا: أَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؟ قَالَ: " إِنْ تَسْتَخْلِفُوهُ تَجِدُوهُ ضَعِيفًا فِي بَدَنِهِ، قَوِيًّا فِي أَمْرِ اللهِ " قَالُوا: أَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ عُمَرَ ؟ قَالَ: " إِنْ تَسْتَخْلِفُوهُ تَجِدُوهُ قَوِيًّا فِي بَدَنِهِ، قَوِيًّا فِي أَمْرِ اللهِ " قَالُوا: أَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ عَلِيًّا ؟ قَالَ: " إِنْ تَسْتَخْلِفُوهُ وَلَنْ تَفْعَلُوا يَسْلُكْ بِكُمُ الطَّرِيقَ وَتَجِدُوهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا
