Hadith 1055

(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ الْفَزَارِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ سَلْعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : قَامَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، فَذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَعَمِلَ بِعَمَلِهِ ، وَسَارَ بِسِيرَتِهِ ، حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَعَمِلَ بِعَمَلِهِمَا ، وَسَارَ بِسِيرَتِهِمَا ، حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ " .
Once, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stood on the pulpit. While mentioning the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he said that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed away, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as the caliph. He continued to act according to the way and conduct of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) until Allah Almighty called him to Himself. Then Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as the caliph, and he continued to act according to the way and conduct of both of them until Allah Almighty called him to Himself.
