[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, the Muslims looked to choose their best, so they appointed Abu Bakr. When Abu Bakr died, the people looked to choose the best of the Muslims, so they appointed Umar. And when Umar died or was killed, the Muslims looked to choose their best, so they appointed Uthman. If you kill him, bring me someone better than him. By Allah, I don't see that you should do that. Abu Al-Qasim said, "Al-Qasim is the one from whom Qurrat bin Khalid narrated this hadith. He is Abu Nahi Bayra, the son of Muhammad."  

«لَمَّا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَظَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونُ خَيْرَهُمْ فَاسْتَخْلَفُوهُ وَهُوَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ نَظَرَ النَّاسُ خَيْرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَاسْتَخْلَفُوهُ وَهُوَ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ نَظَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ خَيْرَهُمْ فَاسْتَخْلَفُوهُ وَهُوَ عُثْمَانُ إِنْ تَقْتُلُوهُ فَائْتُونِي بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهِ وَاللهِ مَا أَرَى أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا» قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ «الْقَاسِمُ هُوَ الَّذِي رَوَى عَنْهَ قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ هُوَ أَبُو نَهِيكٍ بَصْرِيٌّ هُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ»
