The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿIf I were to appoint anyone to a position of authority without consultation, I would have appointed Ibn Umm ʿAbd (Abdullah bin Masʿood).ʿ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتُ مُؤَمِّرًا أَحَدًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي مِنْ غَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ لَأَمَّرْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ
