(دَلِيلٌ آخَرُ وَاضِحٌ لِخِلَافَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ)
(Another clear proof of the caliphate of Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 6029
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَنْبَغِي لِقَوْمٍ فِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَؤُمَّهُمْ غَيْرُهُ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ
`A'isha reported God's messenger as saying, "It is not fitting for a people among whom Abu Bakr is to be led by anyone else." Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a gharib tradition.
