"عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ: مَا تَعَرَّضْتُ لِلإِمَارَةِ وَلَا أحْبَبْتُهَا، غَيْرَ أنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْرَانَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ الله ﷺ فَاشْتَكَوْا عَامِلَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: لأَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْكُمُ الأَمِينَ، وَفِى لَفْظٍ لأَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ رَجُلًا أَمِينًا حَقَّ أَمِينٍ، وَفِى لَفْظٍ: سَأَبْعَثُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَمِينًا قَوِيًا، فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ تطَاوَلَ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنِى، فَبَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ وَتَرَكَنِى".

[Machine] "I did not aspire for leadership, nor did I desire it, except that some people from the people of Najran came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and complained about their governor. So he said, 'I will send a trustworthy person over you.' Omar said, 'I was hoping that he would appoint me for this task, but he sent Abu Ubaidah instead.' This hadith is considered authentic according to the criteria of both Bukhari and Muslim."  

الحاكم:٥١٥٦ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ ثنا سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ

مَا تَعَرَّضْتُ لِلْإِمَارَةِ وَمَا أَحْبَبْتُهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ أَهْلِ نَجْرَانَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاشْتَكَوْا إِلَيْهِ عَامِلَهُمْ فَقَالَ «لَأَبْعَثَنَّ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَمِينَ» قَالَ عُمَرُ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ تَطَاوَلَ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنِي فَبَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» على شرط البخاري ومسلم
