حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، قَالَ: نَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْمَضَاءِ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ - ثِقَةٌ - قَالَ: نَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ قَالَ: نَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ. عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ قَالَ:
لَمَّا طُعِنَ عُمَرُ، قِيلَ لَهُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ: اعْهَدْ، فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ جَاءَكَ رَاعِي غَنَمِكَ وَقَدْ تَرَكَهَا سَائِبَةً، قُلْتَ: تَرَكْتَ غَنَمِي بِغَيْرِ رَاعٍ ؟ فَكَيْفَ بِأُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ ؟ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " إِنْ أَتْرُكْ فَقَدْ تَرَكَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي - يَعْنِي: النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَإِنْ أَعْهَدْ فَقَدْ عَهِدَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي، يَعْنِي: أَبَا بَكْرٍ "، ثُمَّ، قَالَ: " الشُّورَى إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ السِّتَّةِ الَّذِينَ مَاتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ: عُثْمَانُ، وَعَلِيٌّ، وَطَلْحَةُ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، وَسَعْدٌ

✧ When Umar was stabbed, it was said to him: O Commander of the Faithful, appoint a successor, for if your shepherd came to you having left your flock untended, you would say: Have you left my sheep without a shepherd? So how about the community of Muhammad ﷺ? Umar said: If I leave it, one better than me left it—meaning the Prophet ﷺ—and if I appoint, one better than me appointed—meaning Abu Bakr. Then he said: The consultation is to these six with whom the Prophet ﷺ died while he was pleased with them: Uthman, Ali, Talhah, al-Zubayr, Abd al-Rahman b. Awf, and Sa'd.
