حَدَّثَنَا مُطَّلِبُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ سَيْفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَكُونُ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ لَا يَلْبَثُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا وَصَاحِبُ رَحَى دَارَةِ الْعَرَبِ يَعِيشُ حَمِيدًا وَيُقْتَلُ شَهِيدًا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَنْ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ» ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ «وَأَنْتَ سَيَسْأَلُكَ النَّاسُ أَنْ تَخْلَعَ قَمِيصًا كَسَاكَ اللهُ إِيَّاهُ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَئِنْ خَلَعْتَهُ لَا تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ»

✧ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There will be after me twelve caliphs: Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, who will not remain except a little; and the companion of the millstone of the Arab abode, who will live praiseworthy and be killed as a martyr. A man said: Who is he, O Messenger of Allah? He said, 'Umar b. al-Khattab.' Then he turned to Uthman and said, 'And you, the people will ask you to take off a shirt with which Allah has clothed you. By the One in whose hand is my soul, if you take it off, you will not enter Paradise until the camel enters the eye of the needle.'
