Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 14910

وَعَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِأَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ : ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ حَتَّى أُبَايِعَكَ ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " أَنْتَ أَمِينُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ " فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ : مَا كُنْتُ لِأَتَقَدَّمَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ أَقَرَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنْ يَؤُمَّنَا فَأَمَّنَا حَتَّى مَاتَ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ أَبَا الْبَخْتَرِيِّ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ وَلَا عُمَرَ .
Abu al-Bakhtari narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him): "Stretch out your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you, for I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'You are the trustee of this Ummah.'" Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I cannot go ahead of a man whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed to lead us in prayer, and who kept leading us in prayer until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away."
Imam Ahmad recorded this narration, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), except that the narrator Abu al-Bakhtari did not meet the time of Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).
