وحَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْسٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عُمَيْسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ، وَسُئِلَتْ: مَنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُسْتَخْلِفًا لَوِ اسْتَخْلَفَهُ؟ قَالَتْ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَقِيلَ لَهَا: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ بَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَتْ: عُمَرُ، ثُمَّ قِيلَ لَهَا مَنْ؟ بَعْدَ عُمَرَ، قَالَتْ: أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ثُمَّ انْتَهَتْ إِلَى هَذَا.

I heard `A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا as saying and she was asked as to whom Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) would have nominated as his successor if he had to nominate one at all. She said: Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ. It was said to her: Then whom after Abu Bakr? She said: `Uma رضی اللہ عنہ . It was said to her. Then whom after `Umar? She said: Abu `Ubaida bin al-Jarrah, and then she kept quiet at this.
