Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2327b
"عن مجلز قال: قال عمرُ: من تستخلفون بعدى؟ فقال رجلٌ من القوم: الزبيرَ بن العوامِ، قال: إذًا تستخلفونه شَحِيحًا غَلِقا -يعنى: سئ الأخلاق- فقال رجل: نستخلفُ طلحة بن عُبيد، فقال: كيف تستخلفون رجلا كَانَ أولَ شئ نحله رسول اللَّه ﷺ أرضنا نحلها إياه فجعلها في مهر يهودية؟ فقال رجل من القوم: نستخلف عليا، فقال: إنكم لعمرى لا تستخلفونه، والذى نفسى بيده لو استخلفتموه لأقامكم على الحق وإن كَرِهْتم، فقال الوليد بن عقبة: قد علمنا الخليفة من بعدك، فقعد فقال: من؟ قال: عثمان بن عفان، وكان الوليد أخا عثمان لأمه، قال: وكيف بحب عثمانَ المال، وبره بأهل بيته؟ ! ".

"It was narrated from Mujallid that 'Umar said: 'Whom will you appoint as successor after me?' A man from the people said: 'al-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam.' He said: 'Then you would appoint someone who is miserly and ill-tempered,' meaning: bad in character. A man said: 'We will appoint Talhah ibn 'Ubaydullah.' He said: 'How will you appoint a man who was the first thing that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted us land, which he granted to him, and he placed it as the dowry of 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 my soul is, if you appointed him he would keep you upon the truth even if you disliked it.' Al-Walid ibn 'Uqbah said: 'We know who the successor after you will be.' He sat down, and 'Umar said: 'Who?' He said: 'Uthman ibn 'Affan.' al-Walid was the maternal half-brother of Uthman. 'Umar said: 'And how [will you appoint him], given his love of wealth and his kindness to his family?'"
