Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 15572

وَعَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ قَالَ : كَتَبَ عُمَرُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ : قَدْ بَعَثْتُ عَمَّارًا أَمِيرًا ، وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَزِيرًا ; وَهُمَا مِنَ النُّجَبَاءِ ، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ ، فَاقْتَدُوا بِهِمَا وَاسْمَعُوا مِنْ قَوْلِهِمَا ، وَقَدْ آثَرْتُكُمْ بِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَى نَفْسِي . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ حَارِثَةَ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .
Harithah bin Mudarrib narrates: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to the people of Kufah: I have sent Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) as governor and Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) as minister. Both of them are among the select Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who had the honour of taking part in the Battle of Badr. So follow the two of them and act upon what they say. With regard to Abdullah, I have preferred you over myself.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for Harithah, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
