حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْخَلِيلِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْخَطْمِيُّ الْقَاضِي بِالرَّيِّ ثنا الْمُسَيِّبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ثنا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ سَوَّارٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عَلِيُّ يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ مُرَوِّحِي الْقَوْمِ؟ قَالَ قُلْنَا هُمْ صَرْعَى حَوْلَ الْجَمَلِ قَالَ فَقَالَ
«أَمَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الْإِمَارَةَ لَمْ يَعْهَدْ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيهَا عَهْدًا يُتْبَعُ أَثَرُهُ وَلَكِنَّا رَأَيْنَاهَا تِلْقَاءَ أَنْفُسِنَا اسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَقَامَ وَاسْتَقَامَ ثُمَّ اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ فَأَقَامَ وَاسْتَقَامَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الدَّهْرَ بِجِرَانِهِ» حذفه الذهبي من التلخيص

✧ "To proceed: this authority—the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not leave us any covenant regarding it whose trace is to be followed, but we saw it as our own matter. Abu Bakr was appointed successor, and he established and remained upright. Then Umar was appointed successor, and he established and remained upright. Then time struck with its full weight." Al-Dhahabi omitted it from the Talkhis.
