قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْنَا؟ قَالَ «إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ عَلَيْكُمْ خَلِيفَةً فَتَعْصُوهُ يَنْزِلْ بِكُمُ الْعَذَابُ» قَالُوا لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْنَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَالَ «إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْهُ عَلَيْكُمْ تَجِدُوهُ قَوِيًّا فِي أَمْرِ اللَّهِ ضَعِيفًا فِي جَسَدِهِ» قَالُوا لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْنَا عُمَرَ قَالَ «إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْهُ عَلَيْكُمْ تَجِدُوهُ قَوِيًّا أَمِينًا لَا تَأْخُذُهُ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ» قَالُوا لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْنَا عَلِيًّا قَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا وَإِنْ تَفْعَلُوا تَجِدُوهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا يَسْلُكً بِكُمُ الطَّرِيقَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ»

✧ They said: "O Messenger of Allah, would that you appointed a successor over us?" He said: "If I appoint a successor over you and you disobey him, punishment will descend upon you." They said: "Would that you appointed Abu Bakr over us." He said: "If I appoint him over you, you will find him strong in the affair of Allah, weak in his body." They said: "Would that you appointed 'Umar over us." He said: "If I appoint him over you, you will find him strong and trustworthy; the blame of a critic does not affect him regarding Allah." They said: "Would that you appointed 'Ali over us." He said: "You will not do so, and if you do, you will find him a guide and rightly guided, who will lead you along the straight path."
