Musnad of Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 259 — Musnad of Umar ibn al-Khattab
(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ وَبِيَدِهِ عَسِيبُ نَخْلٍ ، وَهُوَ يُجْلِسُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُ : " اسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِ خَلِيفَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَاءَ مَوْلًى لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : شَدِيدٌ بِصَحِيفَةٍ ، فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَى النَّاسِ ، فَقَالَ : يَقُولُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : " اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا لِمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَلَوْتُكُمْ " . قَالَ قَيْسٌ : فَرَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ .
Qais says: I once saw Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) in a state where he had a branch of a date palm in his hand and he was seating the people and saying, "Listen attentively to the words of the successor of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Meanwhile, the freed slave of our master Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), whose name was "Shadid," came with a paper and read it out to the people, stating that our master Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said in this paper: "The person whose name is written in this (after me will be the caliph), so listen to him and obey him. By Allah! I have exercised complete caution and effort in this matter." Qais says: After the passing of our master Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), I saw our master Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) seated on the pulpit (which meant that our master As-Siddiq Al-Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) had written his name in that paper).
