Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32574 — Reports on talk about rulers
٣٢٥٧٤ - حدثنا ابن علية عن أيوب عن أبي قلابة أن رجلًا من قريش يقال له ثمامة كان على صنعاء، فلما جاء قتل عثمان بكى فأطال البكاء فلما أفاق قال: اليوم انتزعت النبوة (و) (١) خلافة النبوة من أمة محمد ﷺ وصارت ملكًا (وجبرية) (٢)، من غلب على شيء أكله (٣).
It is narrated from Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man of Quraysh called Thumamah was the governor of Sana'a. When the news of the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) reached him, he began to weep and wept much. When he recovered, he said: Today prophethood has been snatched away, or he said: the caliphate of prophethood has been snatched away, from the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and this caliphate has turned into kingship and rule by force; whoever overpowers something will devour it.
