HAKIM 4435:
from Ḥudhayfah —
[Machine] They said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you appoint a successor over us?" He said, "If I appoint a caliph over you and you disobey him, you will be afflicted with punishment." They said, "If you appoint Abu Bakr as a successor over us?" He said, "If I appoint him as a successor over you, you will find him strong in the matter of Allah but weak in his body." They said, "If you appoint Umar as a successor over us?" He said, "If I appoint him as a successor over you, you will find him strong and trustworthy, and you will hold no blame against him in matters related to Allah." They said, "If you appoint Ali as a successor over us?" He said, "Indeed, if you do not do what he commands, then if you do, you will find him as a guide and guided one who follows the straight path with you." This is Uthman bin Umair, he is also known as Abu al-Yaqdhan. Weakness diminished him.

عن حذيفه —
قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْنَا؟ قَالَ «إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ عَلَيْكُمْ خَلِيفَةً فَتَعْصُوهُ يَنْزِلْ بِكُمُ الْعَذَابُ» قَالُوا لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْنَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَالَ «إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْهُ عَلَيْكُمْ تَجِدُوهُ قَوِيًّا فِي أَمْرِ اللَّهِ ضَعِيفًا فِي جَسَدِهِ» قَالُوا لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْنَا عُمَرَ قَالَ «إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْهُ عَلَيْكُمْ تَجِدُوهُ قَوِيًّا أَمِينًا لَا تَأْخُذُهُ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ» قَالُوا لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْنَا عَلِيًّا قَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَفْعَلُوا وَإِنْ تَفْعَلُوا تَجِدُوهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا يَسْلُكً بِكُمُ الطَّرِيقَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ» عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ هَذَا هُوَ أَبُو الْيَقْظَانِ عثمان أبو اليقظان ضعفوه
