hakim:5892Abū Bakr Muḥammad b. Dāwud b. Sulaymān al-Zāhid > ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad b. Qaḥṭabah b. Marzūq al-Ṭalḥī > Muḥammad b. Nāfiʿ al-Karābīsī al-Baṣrī > Abū ʿAttāb Sahl b. Ḥammād > Abū Kaʿb Ṣāḥib al-Ḥarīr > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Abū Bakrah

[Machine] Abu Bakrah said, "O Amir, what caused you to leave the seat of power?" He said, "I wanted to speak to you." Abu Bakrah replied, "That is not for you, O Amir. The Amir sits in his house and sends messengers to whoever he wants to talk to." He said, "O Abu Bakrah, there is no harm in what I am doing." So he entered through the smaller door until he reached the door of Umm Jamil, a woman from the Banu Qays tribe. Abu Bakrah said, "I cannot bear this anymore." So he sent a youth to him and told him to climb up to my room and see from the window. The youth went and came back and said, "I found them under the blanket." Abu Bakrah said to the people, "Come with me." So they all got up and followed him. Abu Bakrah started looking and then turned back and said to his brother, "Look." His brother looked and he asked, "What did you see?" His brother replied, "I saw them committing adultery." He asked, "What about you?" His brother looked and said, "I saw them committing adultery while married." Abu Bakrah said, "I bear witness before Allah that you saw it." They all replied, "Yes." Then they returned to their families and Abu Bakrah wrote to Umar ibn al-Khattab describing what he had seen. Umar sent Abu Musa al-Ash'ari as the governor of Basrah, who sent word to al-Mughirah to stay with him for three days as he was the governor of his own self. On the fourth day, they set out together, Abu Bakrah and his witnesses. Umar said, "Show me what you have, Abu Bakrah." Abu Bakrah said, "I bear witness that I saw them committing adultery while married." Then they presented Abu Abdullah, his brother, who said, "I bear witness that I saw them committing adultery while married." Then they presented Shibl ibn Ma'bad al-Bajali and asked him, and he also gave the same testimony. Then they presented Ziyad and Umar asked him, "What did you see?" He replied, "I saw them under the blanket and I heard a loud noise, but I do not know what happened after that." Umar praised Allah and was pleased that al-Mughirah had been saved, and he ordered that the people be punished except for Ziyad. Umar then sent Uthman ibn Affan to Basrah, and he arrived there in the sixteenth year. Uthman died in the nineteenth year, and Uthman had disliked his appointment and used to pray to Allah to save him from it. He fell from his mount and died, may Allah have mercy on him. And what happened with al-Mughirah was from the affairs of al-Mughirah.

(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Messenger of Allah ﷺ is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, kissed him and said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Messenger of Allah ﷺ), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement.:-- "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He also recited:-- "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144) The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said (to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab and Abu 'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later on used to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect you, for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So 'Umar took Abu Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed him."

[Machine] I saw Umar ibn Al-Khattab before he was struck by the days in Medina. He stood with Hudhaifah ibn Al-Yaman and Uthman ibn Hunayf and said, "How have you two managed to bear the burden of the earth that it cannot bear?" They said, "We have carried it by a command that it can bear." Hudhaifah said, "If I were to carry it, it would be weakened." Uthman ibn Hunayf said, "I have carried it by a command that it can bear, without any great favor." Umar then said, "See that you have not carried the burden of the earth that it cannot bear." They said, "No." Umar said, "If Allah grants me safety, I will leave the widows of Iraq without needing any man after me." He said, "Only four things came upon him until he was struck." He said, "And between me and him, there is no one except Abdullah ibn Abbas in the morning." He said, "And he used to stand between the rows. If he saw any disorder among them, he would say, 'Stand still until there is no disorder among them.' Then he would proceed and say the takbir." He said, "And perhaps he would recite Surah Yusuf or An-Nahl or something similar in the first raka'a until the people gathered." He said, "And it was only that he would say the takbir." He said, "I heard him say, 'The dog has killed me or the dog has eaten me,' when he was stabbed. Then he flew out of the wound with a double-edged knife that would not pass by anyone to the right or left except that it would stab him, until he stabbed thirteen men and nine of them died. When he saw that, a Muslim man threw a cloak on him. When the assassin thought that he had taken hold of him, he slit his own throat." He said, "And Umar held the hand of Abdullah ibn Awf and brought him forward." He said, "Who will take care of Umar? He has seen what he has seen." He said, "Regarding the surroundings of the mosque, they did not know anything except that they had lost the voice of Umar while they were saying, 'Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah.' Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf led them in a light prayer. When they finished, Umar said, 'O Ibn Abbas, see who killed me.' He went for a while and then came back and said, 'The slave of Al-Mughirah killed him.' He said, 'Really?' After they all spoke with their tongues and prayed towards their qibla and performed the Hajj according to their rites, he was brought to his house. We then left with him." He said, "And it was as if the people had not been affected by any calamity before that day. Some were saying, 'There is no harm,' while others were saying, 'We fear for him.' So they brought some wine and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. Then they brought some milk and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. They recognized that he was dead, and he mentioned this incident in his will and in the command to consult each other."
