(تَعْيِينُ حَضْرَةِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لِحَضْرَةِ بِلَالٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَيِّدًا)
(Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, appointing Hazrat Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him, as a leader)
Hadith 6259
وَعَن جَابر قا ل: كَانَ عُمَرُ يَقُولُ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ سَيِّدُنَا وَأَعْتَقَ سَيِّدَنَا يَعْنِي بِلَالًا. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
Jabir told that `Umar used to say, "Abu Bakr is our chief, and he manumitted our chief," meaning Bilal. Bukhari transmitted it.
