أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ يَعْلَى بْنَ حَكِيمٍ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ عَاصِبًا رَأْسَهُ ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " إِِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَمَنَّ عَلَيَّ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ مِنِ ابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ، وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنَ النَّاسِ خَلِيلا لاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ، وَلَكِنْ خُلَّةُ الإِِسْلامِ ، سُدُّوا عَنِّي كُلَّ خَوْخَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ غَيْرَ خَوْخَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : قَوْلُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " سُدُّوا عَنِّي كُلَّ خَوْخَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ غَيْرَ خَوْخَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ " فِيهِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ الْخَلِيفَةَ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، إِِذِ الْمُصْطَفَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَسَمَ عَنِ النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ أَطْمَاعَهُمْ فِي أَنْ يَكُونُوا خُلَفَاءَ بَعْدَهُ غَيْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بِقَوْلِهِ : سُدُّوا عَنِّي كُلَّ خَوْخَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ غَيْرَ خَوْخَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: During the illness in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, he came (to the mosque) with a band tied around his head. The Prophet (peace be upon him) sat on the pulpit, praised and glorified Allah, and then said: Among the people, no one has treated me better in regard to his life and wealth than Ibn Abi Quhafa. If I were to take anyone from among the people as a close friend (khalil), I would have taken Abu Bakr, but the brotherhood of Islam remains. Close all the doors in the mosque except the specific door for Abu Bakr (to enter).
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him), "Close all the doors in the mosque except Abu Bakr's door," contains evidence that after the Prophet (peace be upon him), the caliph of the Muslims would be Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), because the Prophet (peace be upon him) knew that among all the people, they might desire to be the caliph after him, except for Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), about whom he knew that he would not desire this. So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Close every door for entering the mosque except the specific door for Abu Bakr (do not close it)."
