وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، فِي خُطْبَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ، قَالَ: وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَمِيرَانِ، فَإِنَّهُ مَهْمَا يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ يَخْتَلِفْ أَمَرُهُمْ وَأَحْكَامُهُمْ، وَتَتَفَرَّقُ جَمَاعَتُهُمْ، وَيَتَنَازَعُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ، هُنَالِكَ تُتْرَكُ السُّنَّةُ، وَتَظْهَرُ الْبِدْعَةُ، وَتَعْظُمُ الْفِتْنَةُ، وَلَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ عَلَى ذَلِكَ صَلَاحٌ.
Ibn Ishaq relates the sermon of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) on that day, in which he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is not permissible for the Muslims to have two leaders, for then their commands and judgements would differ, division would spread among the Muslims and they would dispute among themselves; the Sunnah would be abandoned, innovation would appear, and trials would rise up, and there is no good in that for anyone.
