"عَنْ معاوية بن قرة قال: كان يكتب: من أَبى بكر خليفة رسول اللَّه ﷺ، فلما كان عمر بن الخطاب أرادوا أن يقولوا خليفة رسول اللَّه، فقال عمر: هذا يطول، قالوا: لا، ولكنا أمرناك علينا فأنت أميرنا، قال: نعم أنتم المؤمنون، وأنا أميرهم فكتب: أمير المؤمنين".

"On the authority of Mu'awiyah ibn Qurrah who said: 'He used to write: "From Abu Bakr, successor of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." When it was the time of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, they wanted to say "successor of the Messenger of Allah," but 'Umar said: "This would be long." They said: "No, rather we have appointed you over us, so you are our commander." He said: "Yes, you are the believers, and I am their commander." So he wrote: "Commander of the Faithful."'"
