Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39841 — Reports on the caliphate of Umar bin
٣٩٨٤١ - حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن أبي إسحاق عن أبي (الأحوص) (١) عن ⦗١٥٣⦘ عبد اللَّه قال: أفرس الناس ثلاثة: أبو بكر حين تفرس في عمر فاستخلفه، والتي قالت: ﴿اسْتَأْجِرْهُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ اسْتَأْجَرْتَ الْقَوِيُّ (الْأَمِينُ) (٢)﴾ [القصص: ٢٦] والعزيز حين قال: لامرأته: ﴿أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ﴾ [يوسف: ٢١] (٣).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the three most discerning of all people were: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), when he showed his discernment regarding Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and made him caliph; (second) the woman who said: "Hire him; indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong, the trustworthy" [Al-Qasas: 26]; and (third) the Aziz of Egypt when he said to his wife: "Make his stay honourable" [Yusuf: 21].
