ibnhibban:6620gal-Zuhrī > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] He heard from Umar ibn al-Khattab on the morning when Abu Bakr was being sworn in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Bakr stood on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then Umar stood and performed the Tashahhud before Abu Bakr. Then he said, "As for what follows, I said to you yesterday a statement that was not as I said. By Allah, I did not find it in a book that Allah revealed, nor in a covenant that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made with me. Rather, I had hoped that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would live so that he could rectify our affairs until he would be the last among us. But Allah, exalted and glorified, chose for His Messenger ﷺ that which He has with Him over that which you have. And this is the Book of Allah, a guidance from Allah, by which His Messenger ﷺ guides. So take it and be guided by what Allah has guided His Messenger ﷺ with."  

ابن حبّان:٦٦٢٠gقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ مِنَ الْغَدِ حِينَ بُويِعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَوَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ عُمَرُ فَتَشَهَّدَ قَبْلَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي قَدْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ أَمْسِ مَقَالَةً لَمْ تَكُنْ كَمَا قُلْتُ وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ مَا وَجَدْتُهَا فِي كِتَابٍ أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَلَا فِي عَهْدٍ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَعِيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَدْبُرَنَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ آخِرَنَا فَاخْتَارَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِرَسُولِهِ ﷺ الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ عَلَى الَّذِي عِنْدَكُمْ وَهَذَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ هَدَى اللَّهُ بِهِ رَسُولَهُ ﷺ فَخُذُوا بِهِ تَهْتَدُوا بِمَا هَدَى اللَّهُ بِهِ رَسُولَهُ ﷺ»

That he heard ʿUmar speaking while standing on the pulpit of the Prophet ﷺ in the morning (following the death of the Prophet), when the people had sworn allegiance to Abu Bakr. He said the Tashah-hud before Abu Bakr, and said, "Amma Ba'du (then after) Allah has chosen for his Apostle what is with Him (Paradise) rather than what is with you (the world). This is that Book (Qur'an) with which Allah guided your Apostle, so stick to it, for then you will be guided on the right path as Allah guided His Apostle with it."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ الْغَدَ حِينَ بَايَعَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَاسْتَوَى عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَشَهَّدَ قَبْلَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَاخْتَارَ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ ﷺ الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ عَلَى الَّذِي عِنْدَكُمْ وَهَذَا الْكِتَابُ الَّذِي هَدَى اللَّهُ بِهِ رَسُولَكُمْ فَخُذُوا بِهِ تَهْتَدُوا وَإِنَّمَا هَدَى اللَّهُ بِهِ رَسُولَهُ

"عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ الغَدَ حِينَ بُوِيعَ أبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى بَعِيرِ رَسُول اللَّه ﷺ وَاسْتَوَى أَبُو بَكرٍ عَلَى مِنبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ ، فَتَشَهَّدَ قَبْلَ أَبِى بَكرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّى قُلْتُ لَكُمْ أَمْس مَقَالَةَ لَم تَكُنْ كَمَا قُلْتُ، وَإنِّى وَاللَّه مَا وَجَدْتُهَا فِى كِتَابٍ أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّه وَلَا فِى عَهْدٍ عَهِدَهُ إِلَى رَسُولُ اللَّه، وَلَكِنِّى كُنْتُ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَعيشَ رَسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ ، (فَقَالَ كَلِمَةً يُرِيدُ حتَّى يَكُونَ آخِرَنَا)، فَاخْتَارَ اللَّه لِرَسُولِهِ الَّذِى عِنْدَهُ عَلَى الَّذِى عِنْدَكُمْ، وَهَذَا الْكِتَابُ الَّذِى هَدَى اللَّه بِهِ رَسُولَكُمْ، فُخُذُوهُ تَهْتَدُوا كَمَا هُدِى لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّه ﷺ ".
