Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 15896

وَعَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ : أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ حِينَ شَيَّعَ عَمْرًا : أَوَ تَزِيدُ النَّاسَ نَارًا ، أَلَا تَرَى إِلَى مَا يَصْنَعُ هَذَا بِالنَّاسِ ؟ ! ، فَقَالَ : دَعْهُ ; فَإِنَّمَا وَلَّاهُ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِعِلْمِهِ بِالْحَرْبِ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ مُرْسَلًا ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ .
Ibn Buraydah said: When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was walking along with Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Will you add to the people's fire? Have you not seen what he has done to the people? Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Leave him! For the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made him our commander, because he has thorough knowledge of war.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this report as a "mursal" report, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for al-Mundhir bin Tha'labah, and he is thiqah (trustworthy).
