الدارمي:٣٠١٥أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنِ الْكَلَالَةِ فَقَالَ

إِنِّي سَأَقُولُ فِيهَا بِرَأْيِي فَإِنْ كَانَ صَوَابًا فَمِنَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ خَطَأً فَمِنِّي وَمِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ أُرَاهُ مَا خَلَا الْوَالِدَ وَالْوَلَدَ فَلَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ قَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَسْتَحْيِي اللَّهَ أَنْ أَرُدَّ شَيْئًا قَالَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ»

Abū Bakr and ʿUmar's opinion on the meaning of the word kalālah and what Abū Bakr used to say after stating an opinion

suyuti:2-627bal-Shaʿbī

Abū Bakr was asked about the ˹meaning of˺ kalālah. He said: I will give my own opinion about it, so if this ˹verdict˺ is correct, it is from Allah, and if it is mistaken, it is from me and Shayṭān, and Allah ˹and His Messenger˺ are free from it. ˹The meaning of˺ kalālah refers to the one who has neither descendants nor ascendants. When ʿUmar became the khalīfah, he said, ˹the meaning of˺ kalālah refers to the one without a child, and in another wording, who has no child to him. When ʿUmar was pushed ˹about his differing view˺, he said: I am certainly embarrassed to oppose Abū Bakr, I now see that ˹the meaning of˺ kalālah refers to the one who has neither descendants nor ascendants.

السيوطي:٢-٦٢٧bعَنِ الشعبى قال

سُئِلَ أبو بكرٍ عن الكلالةِ فقالَ: إِنِّى أقولُ فيهَا برأيى، فإن كانَ صوابًا فمِنَ الله لَا شريكَ لهُ، وإِنْ كانَ خطأً فمنِّى ومنَ الشيطانِ، والله منهُ برىِءٌ، أُراهُ مَا خَلَا الولدَ والوالدَ، فلمَّا استُخْلِفَ عمرُ قَالَ: الكلالةُ ما عَدَا الولدَ وفِى لفظٍ: منْ لَا ولَدَ لَهُ: فلمَّا طُعِنَ عمرُ قَالَ: إِنِّى لأَسْتَحِى أَنْ أُخالفَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَرَى أَنَّ الكلالةَ ما عدَا الوالدَ والولدَ۔
