The caliphate of ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb

حَجَّ بِالنَّاسِ عُمَرُ، وَاسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، وَكَانَ عَامِلَهُ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ عَلَى مَكَّةَ عَتَّابُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، وَعَلَى الطَّائِفِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، وَعَلَى الْيَمَنِ يَعْلَى بْنُ مُنَبِّهٍ، وَعَلَى الْيَمَامَةِ وَالْبَحْرِينِ الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، وَعَلَى عُمَانَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ، وَعَلَى الشَّامِ كُلِّهَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، وَعَلَى الْكُوفَةِ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، فَلَمَّا عَزَلَهُ عُمَرُ قِيلَ لَهُ: مَنْ خَلِيفَتُكَ يَا سَعْدُ عَلَى الْكُوفَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عِتْبَانَ.
