[Machine] Narrator Abu Qatadah reported that when the Prophet ﷺ fell behind his companions during a journey, he asked them, "What do you see the people doing?" Then he said, "The people have lost their Prophet." Abu Bakr and Umar said, "O Prophet of Allah, if after you Abu Bakr and Umar survive, there was no need for anyone else to survive." The people said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah is among you. If you follow Abu Bakr and Umar, you will be rightly guided."  

عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ حِينَ تَخَلَّفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي مَسِيرِهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَا تَرَوْنَ النَّاسَ صَنَعُوا؟ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ فَقَدُوا نَبِيَّهُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رَسُولُ اللهِ بَعْدَكُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُخَلِّفَكُمْ وَقَالَ النَّاسُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَإِنْ تُطِيعُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ تَرْشُدُوا
