Hadith 332
اُردوEn
(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ : أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعُمَرَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ مَقَالَةً ، فَآلَيْتُ أَنْ أَقُولَهَا لَك ، زَعَمُوا أَنَّكَ غَيْرُ مُسْتَخْلِفٍ ، فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ سَاعَةً ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَحْفَظُ دِينَهُ ، وَإِنِّي إِنْ لَا أَسْتَخْلِفْ ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَسْتَخْلِفْ ، وَإِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ ، فَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدْ اسْتَخْلَفَ " ، قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ ، مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ ذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ ، فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْدِلُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَدًا ، وَأَنَّهُ غَيْرُ مُسْتَخْلِفٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): I have heard people saying something, and I will not fall short in conveying it to you. People think that you are not appointing anyone as your successor? He lowered his head for a moment and then raised it and said: Allah Himself will protect His religion. I will not appoint anyone as my successor because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also did not appoint anyone as his successor, and if I do appoint someone as successor, then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) also did the same.
