وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ أَعْشَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُكْمِلٍ، عَنْ أَزْهَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ:
أَقْبَلَ عُبَادَةُ ؓ حَاجًّا مِنَ الشَّامِ، فَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَأَتَى عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ؓ، فَقَالَ: أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يَأْمُرُونَكُمْ بِمَا تَعْرِفُونَ، وَيَعْمَلُونَ مَا تُنْكِرُونَ، فَلَيْسَ لِأُولَئِكَ عَلَيْكُمْ طَاعَةٌ
