Hadith 237

237 صحيح حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لَقَدْ رَاجَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ وَمَا حَمَلَنِي عَلَى كَثْرَةِ مُرَاجَعَتِهِ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقَعْ فِي قَلْبِي أَنْ يُحِبَّ النَّاسُ بَعْدَهُ رَجُلاً قَامَ مَقَامَهُ أَبَدًا وَلاَ كُنْتُ أُرَى أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَقُومَ أَحَدٌ مَقَامَهُ إِلاَّ تَشَاءَمَ النَّاسُ بِهِ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ يَعْدِلَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that I repeatedly asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter (i.e., appointing Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, as the Imam during the days of illness). I kept asking you repeatedly only because I was certain that the person who would stand in your place (during your lifetime), people would never love him; rather, I thought that people would consider it a bad omen. That is why I wanted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not to command Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding this.
