Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8907

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْجُمَلِ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لَمْ يَعْهَدْ إِلَيْنَا عَهْدًا نَأْخُذُ بِهِ فِي إِمَارَةٍ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ شَيْءٌ رَأَيْنَاهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَنْفُسِنَا ، ثُمَّ اسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ - رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ - عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَأَقَامَ وَاسْتَقَامَ ، ثُمَّ اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى عُمَرَ فَأَقَامَ وَاسْتَقَامَ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ الدِّينُ بِجُرَّانِهِ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يُسَمَّ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of the Camel he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give us any covenant regarding rulership that we were to adopt; rather, it was something that was our own opinion. (After the passing of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him),) Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed caliph, may Allah Almighty have mercy on Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and he established (the commands) and remained upright. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed caliph, may Allah Almighty have mercy on Sayyiduna Umar, and he established (the commands) and remained upright, until the religion became firmly settled.
Imam Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator who is not named, and the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
