Musnad of Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 237 — Sayyiduna Umar, in the course of a talk, said
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّالْقَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ قَالَ : قَالَ عُمَرُ ، فَذَكَرَ كَلَامًا : إِنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ : لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ ؟ فَلَا أَجِدُ أَحَقَّ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَنْهُمْ رَاضٍ ، فَأَيُّهُمُ اسْتَخْلَفُوهُ فَهُوَ الْخَلِيفَةُ مِنْ بَعْدِي .
Salim bin Abi al-Ja'd (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), in the course of a talk, said: "Indeed some people say: If only you would nominate (someone as) caliph! But I do not find anyone more deserving of this office of caliphate than these men with whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was fully pleased at the time of his death. So whichever of them these men choose (from among themselves) as caliph, he will be the caliph after me."
