[Machine] "Abu Bakr left and Umar started to address the people. He said 'Sit down', but Umar refused to sit. He said 'Sit down', but Umar still refused to sit. Then Abu Bakr stood up and people flocked to him, leaving Umar behind. Abu Bakr said, 'O people, whoever among you worships Muhammad, then know that Muhammad has passed away. But whoever worships Allah, then know that Allah is alive and does not die.'"  

ابن حبّان:٦٦٢٠eقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَرَجَ وَعُمَرُ يُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ اجْلِسْ فَأَبَى عُمَرُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَقَالَ اجْلِسْ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَتَشَهَّدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَمَالَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ وَتَرَكُوا عُمَرَ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ يَعْبُدُ مُحَمَّدًا فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ قَدْ مَاتَ وَمَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ
