"عَنْ سِمَاكٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ لَمَّا حُضِرَ قَالَ: إِنْ أَسْتَخْلفْ فَسُنَّةٌ، وَإِنْ لَا أَسْتَخْلِفْ فَسُنَّةٌ، تُوُفِّى رَسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ وَلَمْ يَسْتَخْلِفْ، وَتُوُفِّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَاسْتَخْلَفَ، فَقَالَ عَلِىٌّ: فَعَرَفْتُ وَاللَّه أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَعْدِلَ بِسُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ، فَذَاكَ حِينَ جَعَلَهَا عُمَرُ شُورَى بَيْنَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّان وَعَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِى طَالبٍ وَالزُّبيْرِ وَطَلْحَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنِ عَوفٍ، وَسَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِى وَقَّاصٍ، وَقَالَ لِلأَنْصَارِ: ادْخَلو (هُمْ) بَيْتًا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامِ فَإِنِ اسْتَقَامُوا، وَإلَّا فَادْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ (فَاضْرِبوا) أَعنَاقَهُمْ".

"From Simak that when 'Umar ibn al-Khattab was about to die, he said: If I appoint a successor, it is a sunnah, and if I do not appoint a successor, it is a sunnah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died without appointing a successor, and Abu Bakr died and appointed one. 'Ali said: I knew by Allah that he would not deviate from the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. That is when 'Umar made it a shura among 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, al-Zubayr, Talhah, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, and Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas. He said to the Ansar: Put them in a house for three days. If they agree, well and good, otherwise enter upon them and strike their necks."
