The First Chapter Regarding What Has Been Narrated That the Prophet Did Not Stay Behind Before His Death
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 12022 — The First Chapter Regarding What Has Been
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ) بِمِثْلِهِ وَفِيهِ: ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا أَوْ أَصَابَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ فَمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: قَالَ أَبِي قَوْلُهُ: ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ، أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَوَاضَعَ بِذَلِكَ.
(Second chain) There is a similar narration, except that in it: After those gentlemen, trials befell us, then what Allah Almighty willed, happened. Abu Abdur Rahman says: My father said that when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that after those gentlemen, trials befell us, he said this out of humility.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From this chapter it is understood that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not explicitly present the name of any Companion as a caliph. However, from some ahadith, there are indications towards the caliphate of the Rightly Guided Caliphs (khulafa’ al-rashidun), such as in the ahadith mentioned in the chapter of hadith number (12153), where there is an indication towards the caliphate of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu.
