(أَمْرُ الاقْتِدَاءِ بِالشَّيْخَيْنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ)
(The command to follow the two Sheikhs, may Allah be pleased with them, after the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him)
Hadith 6061
وَعَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي مَا بَقَائِي فِيكُمْ؟ فَاقْتَدُوا بِاللَّذَيْنِ مِنْ بَعْدِي: أَبِي بكر وَعمر . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Hudhaifa reported God's messenger as saying, "I do not know how long I shall remain among you, so copy those two who will remain after I am gone, Abu Bakr and `Umar." Tirmidhi transmitted it.
