عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ مُسْتَنِدًا إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ اعْلَمُوا أَنِّي لَمْ أَقُلْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ شَيْئًا وَلَمْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ مِنْ بَعْدِي أَحَدًا وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ وَفَاتِي مِنْ سَبْيِ الْعَرَبِ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَشَرْتَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَأْتَمَنَكَ النَّاسُ وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَأْتَمَنَهُ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي حِرْصًا سَيِّئًا وَإِنِّي جَاعِلٌ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ النَّفَرِ السِّتَّةِ الَّذِينَ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَوْ أَدْرَكَنِي أَحَدُ رَجُلَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَعَلْتُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ إِلَيْهِ لَوَثِقْتُ بِهِ سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ابْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ
It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting, leaning on Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) for support. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar and Sayyiduna Sa’id bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both) were also present with him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Remember, I have not made any final decision regarding the matter of Kalalah, and I have not nominated anyone as a caliph after me. At the time of my death, all the Arab slaves who are in my possession will be freed from the wealth of Allah Almighty. Sayyiduna Sa’id bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: If you indicate towards any Muslim regarding the caliphate, people will consider you trustworthy in this matter, just as Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) did so and people considered him trustworthy. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have seen intense eagerness for the caliphate among my companions, so I am entrusting this matter to those six persons with whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was pleased at the time of his death. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If I had found either of these two individuals, I would have entrusted this matter to him and relied upon him—one is Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifah, and the other is Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah.1
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu, unlike Sayyiduna Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu, did not appoint a single person as the caliph; rather, he presented the names of six personalities. See hadith number (12227).
