حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَلَمَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي إِنْ لَا أَسْتَخْلِفْ فَإِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَسْتَخْلِفْ وَإِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ فَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدِ اسْتَخْلَفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ ذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَعْدِلُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَدًا وَأَنَّهُ غَيْرُ مُسْتَخْلِفٍ.

Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: I shall not appoint a successor, for the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم did not appoint a successor. If I appoint a successor (I can do so), for Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ had appointed a successor. He Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہما) said: I swear by Allah, he did not mention (anyone) but the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ . So I learnt he would not equate anyone with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, for he did not appoint any successor.

Narrated Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہ
