(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ
سُفْيَانَ ، عَنِ
أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ
الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ
عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ اسْتَخْلَفْتُ أَحَدًا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ ، لَاسْتَخْلَفْتُ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I were to appoint anyone as a leader without consulting the Muslims, I would appoint Ibn Umm Abd, that is, Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)."
