Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14304

وَعَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ : مَرَّ بِي أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي غَزْوٍ أَوْ حَجٍّ فَتَأَمَّلْتُهُمْ ، فَلَمْ أَرَ مِنْهُمْ أَحْسَنَ هَيْئَةً مِنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ; قَدْ جَلَّلَ عَلَيْهِ كِسَاءً مِنَ الْحَرِّ وَالْبَرْدِ .
قُلْتُ : فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، وَقَدْ تَقَدَّمَ فِي كَرَاهِيَةِ الْإِمَارَةِ فِي الْخِلَافَةِ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Rafi' bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: During a military expedition, or perhaps on the occasion of Hajj (this doubt is from the narrator), some Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me. I looked at them carefully, and I did not see among them anyone of finer appearance than Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him); he had wrapped himself in a cloak that protected against heat and cold. (Allamah Haythami says:) I say: After this the narrator mentioned the full hadith, which has already passed in the Book of the Caliphate, in the chapter on the dislike of holding authority.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
