Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8936

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ - قَالَ : لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ : مِنَّا أَمِيرٌ وَمِنْكُمْ أَمِيرٌ ، فَأَتَاهُمْ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ : يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ بِالنَّاسِ ، فَأَيُّكُمْ تَطِيبُ نَفْسُهُ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؟ قَالُوا : نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ نَتَقَدَّمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَأَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَفِيهِ عَاصِمُ بْنُ أَبِي النُّجُودِ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ وَفِيهِ ضَعْفٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, the Ansar said: "One leader will be from us and one leader from you." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to them and said: "Do you not know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead the people in prayer? So which of you would be pleased to go ahead of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)?" They said: "We seek refuge in Allah from going ahead of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)."
Ahmad and Abu Ya'la recorded it; its chain contains Asim bin Abi al-Nujud, who is thiqah (trustworthy) but has some weakness, and the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
