حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ كُنْتُ مُؤَمِّرًا أَحَدًا مِنْ غَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ لَأَمَّرْتُ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ " .
´Narrated 'Ali:` that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "If I was going to appoint anyone as a leader without any consultation, I would appoint Ibn Umm 'Abd."

Note:
(In the chain of narration, "Harith al-A'war" is weak, and Abu Ishaq al-Sabi'i is a mudallis and a mukhtalit narrator, and the narration is with 'an'anah.)

Some commentators have interpreted "khalifah" here as referring to leadership of a particular army or succession in some other matter, but there is no need for such interpretation or figurative explanation here, because this narration itself is weak.
