Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 7126

عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ مُسْتَنِدًا إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَ : اعْلَمُوا أَنِّي لَمْ أَقُلْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ شَيْئًا ، وَلَمْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ مِنْ بَعْدِي أَحْدًا ، وَأَنَّهُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ وَفَاتِي مِنْ سَبْيِ الْعَرَبِ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ مِنْ مَالِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ . فَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ : أَمَّا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَشَرْتَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَائْتَمَنَكَ النَّاسُ . وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَائْتَمَنَهُ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي حِرْصًا سَيِّئًا ، وَإِنِّي جَاعِلٌ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ النَّفَرِ السِّتَّةِ الَّذِينَ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَوْ أَدْرَكَنِي أَحَدُ رَجُلَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ جَعَلْتُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ إِلَيْهِ لَوَثِقْتُ بِهِ . سَالِمٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ ، وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، وَحَدِيثُهُ حَسَنٌ ، وَفِيهِ ضَعْفٌ .
Abu Rafi' says: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was leaning against Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and with him were Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Know that I have not said anything about kalalah, and I am not appointing anyone as caliph after me. Whoever among the Arab captives is alive at the time of my death shall be counted free, from the wealth of Allah. Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you were to point to one of the Muslims, the people would trust you in this. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also did so, and the people trusted him as well. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have seen an unseemly eagerness among my companions. I am entrusting this matter to these six men, with whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was pleased at the time of his passing. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If one of two men were present now, I would appoint him as leader and have full confidence in him: Salim, the freed slave of Abu Hudhayfah, and Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah.
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Ali bin Zayd, whose hadith is hasan (good), though there is weakness in this narrator.
