Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39840 — Reports on the caliphate of Umar bin

It is narrated from Qays bin Abi Hazim: I saw Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) with a stripped palm branch in his hand, and he was seating the people and saying: "Listen to the words of the Caliph of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." The narrator says: Then a slave of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), who was called Shadid, came with a note and read it out to the people. He said: "Sayyiduna Abu Bakr says: 'Listen to and obey the man whose name is in this document. By Allah! I have spared no effort in bringing you to good.'" Qays, the narrator, says: Then after that I saw Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab on the pulpit.
