[Machine] "Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq said to Abu Ubaydah: 'Shall I give you my pledge of allegiance? For I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Indeed, you are the guardian of this Ummah (nation).' Abu Ubaydah replied, 'How can I lead the prayer in front of a man whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered to lead us when he was alive?' 'It is a Sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and they did not mention it,' [meaning the scholars did not mention the authenticity of the chain].'"
أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ لِأَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ هَلْ أُبَايِعُكَ؟ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّكَ أَمِينُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ» فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ كَيْفَ أُصَلِّي بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ أَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَؤُمَّنَا حِينَ قُبِضَ؟ «صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» منقطع
