"The Messenger of Allah said: 'If I were to appoint anyone as my successor without consulting anyone, I would have appointed Ibn Umm 'Abd.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 137)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ كُنْتُ مُسْتَخْلِفًا أَحَدًا عَلَى أُمَّتِي مِنْ غَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ لَاسْتَخْلَفْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ»
