[Machine] "Abdullah called me once or twice for me to join them in this matter, but Umar did not involve me. I did not like being with them because I knew that they would make a decision that my father did not agree with. By Allah, I rarely saw Umar move his lips for anything unless it was the truth. When Uthman's calling to prayer increased, I said, 'Don't you understand? You give orders while the Commander of the Faithful is alive?' By Allah, it was as if I had woken Umar from a deep sleep. Umar said, 'Wait, if something happens to me, then Suhayb, the freed slave of the Banu Jud'an, should lead the people in prayer for three nights. And then gather the nobles and the commanders of the soldiers on the third day. You should appoint one of you. And if anyone orders without consultation, then strike his neck.'"
