Hadith 4661
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَمْعَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ بِهَذَا الْخَبَرِ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَوْتَ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ ابْنُ زَمْعَةَ : " خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَطْلَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ حُجْرَتِهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَا لَا لَا لِيُصَلِّ لِلنَّاسِ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ، يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ مُغْضَبًا " .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abdullah bin Zam’ah through a different chain. He said: When the Prophet ﷺ heard Umar’s voice, Ibn Zam’ah said: The Prophet ﷺ came out until he took out his head of his apartment. He then said: No, no, no; the son of Abu Quhafah should lead the people in prayer. He said it angrily.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ During the final illness of the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), the first prayer was led by Umar (radi Allahu anhu), and thereafter, Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) continued to lead the prayers. The number of prayers led by him during the blessed life of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was seventeen.
➋ The insistence of the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) regarding Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu)—especially his words that (he commands it, and the Muslims object, wanting someone other than Abu Bakr to lead the prayer)—was a clear indication, even a testimony, of his being the rightful successor (khalifah), and that he was the natural choice of the Muslims.
➌ In this incident, there was no disparagement of Umar al-Faruq (radi Allahu anhu); rather, it was an honor specific to Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu), which Umar (radi Allahu anhu) and all the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) had already acknowledged before this.
