قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَلِيلِ - هُوَ ابْنُ عَطِيَّةَ - ثَنَا أَبُو مِجْلَزٍ، قَالَ:
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ اسْتَلْقَى فِي حَائِطٍ مِنْ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ... فَذَكَرَ قِصَّةً، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: مَنْ تَسْتَخْلِفُونَ بَعْدِي ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ ؓ. قَالَ: إِذًا تَسْتَخْلِفُونَ شَحِيحًا غَلِقًا - يَعْنِي سَيِّئَ الْأَخْلَاقِ. فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: نَسْتَخْلِفُ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ ؓ. قَالَ: كَيْفَ تَسْتَخْلِفُونَ رَجُلًا كَانَ أَوَّلُ شَيْءٍ نَحَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْضًا نَحَلَهَا إِيَّاهَا فَجَعَلَهَا فِي مَهْرِ يَهُودِيَّةٍ. فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: نَسْتَخْلِفُ عَلِيًّا ؓ. فَقَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَعَمْرِي مَا تَسْتَخْلِفُونَهُ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتُمُوهُ لَأَقَامَكُمْ عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَإِنْ كَرِهْتُمْ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ ؓ: قَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْخَلِيفَةَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ. فَقَعَدَ فَقَالَ: مَنْ ؟ قَالَ: عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ، وَكَانَ الْوَلِيدُ أَخَا عُثْمَانَ لِأُمِّهِ. فَقَالَ: فَكَيْفَ بِحُبِّ عُثْمَانَ ؓ الْمَالَ وَبِرَّهُ بِأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ؟.

✧ Then ‘Umar ؓ lay down in one of the gardens of Madinah... Then he mentioned a story, and ‘Umar ؓ said: Whom will you appoint as successor after me? A man from the people said to him: Al-Zubayr b. al-‘Awwam ؓ. He said: Then you will appoint as successor a stingy, ill-tempered man—meaning bad in character. Another man said: We will appoint Talhah b. ‘Ubayd Allah ؓ. He said: How can you appoint as successor a man whose first possession, which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted him, was land that he gave as a dowry to a Jewish woman? A man from the people said: We will appoint ‘Ali ؓ. He said: By my life, you will not appoint him. By Him in whose hand is my soul, if you appointed him, he would establish you upon the truth even if you disliked it. He said: Then al-Walid b. ‘Uqbah ؓ said: We know the caliph after you. He sat up and said: Who? He said: ‘Uthman b. ‘Affan ؓ—and al-Walid was ‘Uthman's half-brother through his mother. He said: But what about ‘Uthman's ؓ love of wealth and his kindness to his family?
