It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaykah that I heard from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and she was asked: O Mother of the Believers! If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had appointed a successor, whom would he have appointed as his successor? She replied: Abu Bakr. The narrator says: Then she was asked, after Abu Bakr, whom? Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: Then Umar. She was asked, after Umar, whom? Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah. Then Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) stopped at this point.
