"Surely! Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his charges:
The Imam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his
subjects; a man is the guardian of his family (household) and is responsible
for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her husband's home and of his
children and is responsible for them; and the slave of a man is a guardian
of his master's property and is responsible for it. Surely, everyone of you
is a guardian and responsible for his charges."

Narrated Muhammad bin Jubair bin Mut'im: That while he
was included in a delegation of Quraish staying with Muawiya, Muawiya heard
that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr had said that there would be a king from Qahtan
tribe, whereupon he became very angry. He stood up, and after glorifying and
praising Allah as He deserved, said, "To proceed, I have come to know that
some of you men are narrating things which are neither in Allah's Book, nor
has been mentioned by Allah's Apostle . Such people are the ignorant among
you. Beware of such vain desires that mislead those who have them. I have
heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'This matter (of the caliphate) will remain
with the Quraish, and none will rebel against them, but Allah will throw him
down on his face as long as they stick to the rules and regulations of the
religion (Islam).'"

Narrated 'Ali: The Prophet sent an army unit (for some
campaign) and appointed a man from the Ansar as its commander and ordered
them (the soldiers) to obey him. (During the campaign) he became angry with
them and said, "Didn't the Prophet order you to obey me?" They said, "Yes."
He said, "I order you to collect wood and make a fire and then throw
yourselves into it." So they collected wood and made a fire, but when they
were about to throw themselves into, it they started looking at each other,
and some of them said, "We followed the Prophet to escape from the fire. How
should we enter it now?" So while they were in that state, the fire
extinguished and their commander's anger abated. The event was mentioned to
the Prophet and he said, "If they had entered it (the fire) they would never
have come out of it, for obedience is required only in what is good." (See

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samura: The Prophet said, "O
'Abdur-Rahman! Do not seek to be a ruler, for if you are given authority on
your demand then you will be held responsible for it, but if you are given
it without asking (for it), then you will be helped (by Allah) in it. If you
ever take an oath to do something and later on you find that something else
is better, then you should expiate your oath and do what is better."

does a good deed in order to show off, Allah will expose his intentions on
the Day of Resurrection (before the people), and whoever puts the people
into difficulties, Allah will put him into difficulties on the Day of
Resurrection.'" The people said (to Jundab), "Advise us." He said, "The
first thing of the human body to purify is the abdomen, so he who can eat
nothing but good food (Halal and earned lawfully) should do so, and he who
does as much as he can that nothing intervene between him and Paradise by
not shedding even a handful of blood, (i.e. murdering) should do so."

Prophet). 'Go away from me, for you do not know my calamity.'" Anas added,
"The Prophet left her and proceeded. A man passed by her and asked her,
'What has Allah's Apostle said to you?' She replied, 'I did not recognize
him.' The man said, 'He was Allah's Apostle."' Anas added, "So that woman
came to the gate of the Prophet and she did not find a gate-keeper there,
and she said, 'O Allah's Apostle! By Allah. I did not recognize you!' The
Prophet said, 'No doubt, patience is at the first stroke of a calamity.'"

Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! By Allah, I fail to attend the morning
congregational prayer because so-and-so (i.e., Muadh bin Jabal) prolongs the
prayer when he leads us for it." I had never seen the Prophet more furious
in giving advice than he was on that day. He then said, "O people! some of
you make others dislike (good deeds, i.e. prayers etc). So whoever among you
leads the people in prayer, he should shorten it because among them there
are the old, the weak and the busy (needy having some jobs to do). (See

more than yours." Hind added, "Abu Sufyan is a miser. Is it sinful of me to
feed our children from his property?" The Prophet said, "There is no blame
on you if you feed them (thereof) in a just and reasonable manner.

'Umar during his Caliphate. 'Umar said to him, "Haven't I been told that you
do certain jobs for the people but when you are given payment you refuse to
take it?" 'Abdullah added: I said, "Yes." 'Umar said, "Why do you do so?" I
said, "I have horses and slaves and I am living in prosperity and I wish
that my payment should be kept as a charitable gift for the Muslims." 'Umar
said, "Do not do so, for I intended to do the same as you do. Allah's
Apostles used to give me gifts and I used to say to him, 'Give it to a more
needy one than me.' Once he gave me some money and I said, 'Give it to a
more needy person than me,' whereupon the Prophet said, 'Take it and keep it
in your possession and then give it in charity. Take what ever comes to you
of this money if you are not keen to have it and not asking for it;
otherwise (i.e., if it does not come to you) do not seek to have it
yourself.' " Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: I have heard 'Umar saying, "The
Prophet used to give me some money (grant) and I would say (to him), 'Give
it to a more needy one than me.' Once he gave me some money and I said,
'Give it to a more needy one than me.' The Prophet said (to me), 'Take it
and keep it in your possession and then give it in charity. Take whatever
comes to you of this money while you are not keen to have it and not asking
for it; take it, but you should not seek to have what you are not given. ' "

|
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to Allah's Apostle while
he was in the mosque, and called him, saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I have
committed illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet turned his face to the
other side, but when the man gave four witnesses against himself, the
Prophet said to him, "Are you mad?" The man said, "No." So the Prophet said
(to his companions), "Take him away and stone him to death. "
|
|
|
Volume 9, Book 89, Number 281:
|
Narrated Um Salama: Allah's Apostle said, "I am only a
human being, and you people (opponents) come to me with your cases; and it
may be that one of you can present his case eloquently in a more convincing
way than the other, and I give my verdict according to what I hear. So if
ever I judge (by error) and give the right of a brother to his other
(brother) then he (the latter) should not take it, for I am giving him only
a piece of Fire." (See Hadith No. 638, Vol. 3).
|
|
|
Volume 9, Book 89, Number 282:
|
Narrated Abu Qatada: Allah's Apostle said on the Day of
(the battle of) Hunain, "Whoever has killed an infidel and has a proof or a
witness for it, then the salb (arms and belongings of that deceased) will be
for him." I stood up to seek a witness to testify that I had killed an
infidel but I could not find any witness and then sat down. Then I thought
that I should mention the case to Allah's Apostle I (and when I did so) a
man from those who were sitting with him said, "The arms of the killed
person he has mentioned, are with me, so please satisfy him on my behalf."
Abu Bakr said, "No, he will not give the arms to a bird of Quraish and
deprive one of Allah's lions of it who fights for the cause of Allah and His
Apostle." Allah's Apostle I stood up and gave it to me, and I bought a
garden with its price, and that was my first property which I owned through
the war booty. The people of Hijaz said, "A judge should not pass a judgment
according to his knowledge, whether he was a witness at the time he was the
judge or before that" And if a litigant gives a confession in favor of his
opponent in the court, in the opinion of some scholars, the judge should not
pass a judgment against him till the latter calls two witnesses to witness
his confession. And some people of Iraq said, "A judge can pass a judgement
according to what he hears or witnesses (the litigant's confession) in the
court itself, but if the confession takes place outside the court, he should
not pass the judgment unless two witnesses witness the confession." Some of
them said, "A judge can pass a judgement depending on his knowledge of the
case as he is trust-worthy, and that a witness is Required just to reveal
the truth. The judge's knowledge is more than the witness." Some said, "A
judge can judge according to his knowledge only in cases involving property,
but in other cases he cannot." Al-Qasim said, "A judge ought not to pass a
judgment depending on his knowledge if other people do not know what he
knows, although his knowledge is more than the witness of somebody else
because he might expose himself to suspicion by the Muslims and cause the
Muslims to have unreasonable doubt. "
|
|
|
Volume 9, Book 89, Number 283:
|
Narrated 'Ali bin Husain: Safiya bint (daughter of) Huyai
came to the Prophet (in the mosque), and when she returned (home), the
Prophet accompanied her. It happened that two men from the Ansar passed by
them and the Prophet called them saying, "She is Safiya!" those two men
said, "Subhan Allah!" The Prophet said, "Satan circulates in the human body
as blood does."
|
|
|
Volume 9, Book 89, Number 284:
|
Narrated Abu Burda: The Prophet sent my father and Mu'adh
bin Jabal to Yemen and said (to them), "Make things easy for the people and
do not put hurdles in their way, and give them glad tiding, and don't let
them have aversion (i.e. to make people to hate good deeds) and you both
should work in cooperation and mutual understanding" Abu Musa said to
Allah's Apostle, "In our country a special alcoholic drink called Al-Bit',
is prepared (for drinking)." The Prophet said, "Every intoxicant is
prohibited. "

Narrated Abu Humaid Al-Sa'idi: The Prophet appointed a
man from the tribe of Bani Asad, called Ibn Al-Utabiyya to collect the
Zakat. When he returned (with the money) he said (to the Prophet), "This is
for you and this has been given to me as a gift." The Prophet stood up on
the pulpit (Sufyan said he ascended the pulpit), and after glorifying and
praising Allah, he said, "What is wrong with the employee whom we send (to
collect Zakat from the public) that he returns to say, 'This is for you and
that is for me?' Why didn't he stay at his father's and mother's house to
see whether he will be given gifts or not? By Him in Whose Hand my life is,
whoever takes anything illegally will bring it on the Day of Resurrection by
carrying it over his neck: if it is a camel, it will be grunting: if it is a
cow, it will be mooing: and if it is a sheep it will be bleating!" The
Prophet then raised both his hands till we saw the whiteness of his armpits
(and he said), "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message?" And he
repeated it three times.

Volume 9, Book 89, Number 287:

Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Marwan bin Al-Hakam and

free the captives of Hawazin, Allah's Apostle said, "I do not know who
amongst you has agreed (to it) and who has not. Go back so that your 'Urafa'
may submit your decision to us." So the people returned and their 'Urafa'
talked to them and then came back to Allah's Apostle and told him that the
people had given their consent happily and permitted (their captives to be
freed).

Volume 9, Book 89, Number 292:
|
Narrated Um Salama: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah's
Apostle heard some people quarreling at the door of his dwelling, so he went
out to them and said, "I am only a human being, and litigants with cases of
dispute come to me, and someone of you may happen to be more eloquent (in
presenting his case) than the other, whereby I may consider that he is
truthful and pass a judgment in his favor. If ever I pass a judgment in
favor of somebody whereby he takes a Muslim's right unjustly, then whatever
he takes is nothing but a piece of Fire, and it is up to him to take or
leave."

Narrated 'Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) 'Utba bin Abi

of Zam'a is from me, so take him into your custody." So in the year of
Conquest of Mecca, Sa'd took him and said. (This is) my brother's son whom
my brother has asked me to take into my custody." 'Abd bin Zam'a got up
before him and said, (He is) my brother and the son of the slave girl of my
father, and was born on my father's bed." So they both submitted their case
before Allah's Apostle. Sa'd said, "O Allah's Apostle! This boy is the son
of my brother and he entrusted him to me." 'Abd bin Zam'a said, "This boy is
my brother and the son of the slave girl of my father, and was born on the
bed of my father." Allah's Apostle said, "The boy is for you, O 'Abd bin
Zam'a!" Then Allah's Apostle further said, "The child is for the owner of
the bed, and the stone is for the adulterer," He then said to Sauda bint
Zam'a, "Veil (screen) yourself before him," when he saw the child's
resemblance to 'Utba. The boy did not see her again till he met Allah.

|
Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet said, "If somebody on the
demand of a judge takes an oath to grab (a Muslim's) property and he is liar
in it, he will meet Allah Who will be angry with him". So Allah revealed,:--
'Verily! those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and
their oaths..' (3.77) 'Al-Ashath came while Abdullah was narrating (this) to
the people. Al-Ashath said, "This verse was revealed regarding me and
another man with whom I had a quarrel about a well. The Prophet said (to
me), "Do you have any evidence?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Let your
opponent take an oath.' I said: I am sure he would take a (false) oath."
Thereupon it was revealed: 'Verily! those who purchase a small gain at the
cost of Allah's Covenant....' (3.77) (See Hadith No. 72, Vol 6).

of them presents his case eloquently in a more convincing and impressive way
than the other, and I give my verdict in his favor thinking he is truthful.
So if I give a Muslim's right to another (by mistake), then that (property)
is a piece of Fire, which is up to him to take it or leave it." (See Hadith
No. 281 )

(Usama's father) deserved the leadership and used to be one of the most
beloved persons to me, and now his son (Usama) is one of the most beloved
persons to me after him. " (See Hadith No. 745, Vol. 5)

but they said, "Saba'na! Saba'na! " Khalid kept on killing some of them and
taking some others as captives, and he gave a captive to everyone of us and
ordered everyone of us to kill his captive. I said, "By Allah, I shall not
kill my captive and none of my companions shall kill his captive!" Then we
mentioned that to the Prophet and he said, "O Allah! I am free from what
Khalid bin Al-Walid has done," and repeated it twice.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd As-Saidi: There was some quarrel
(sighting) among Bani 'Amr, and when this news reached the Prophet, he
offered the Zuhr prayer and went to establish peace among them. In the
meantime the time of 'Asr prayer was due, Bilal pronounced the Adhan and
then the Iqama for the prayer and requested Abu Bakr (to lead the prayer)
and Abu Bakr went forward. The Prophet arrived while Abu Bakr was still
praying. He entered the rows of praying people till he stood behind Abu Bakr
in the (first) row. The people started clapping, and it was the habit of Abu
Bakr that whenever he stood for prayer, he never glanced side-ways till he
had finished it, but when Abu Bakr observed that the clapping was not coming
to an end, he looked and saw the Prophet standing behind him. The Prophet
beckoned him to carry on by waving his hand. Abu Bakr stood there for a
while, thanking Allah for the saying of the Prophet and then he retreated,
taking his steps backwards. When the Prophet saw that, he went ahead and led
the people in prayer. When he finished the prayer, he said, "O Abu Bakr!
What prevented you from carrying on with the prayer after I beckoned you to
do so?" Abu Bakr replied, "It does not befit the son of Abi Quhafa to lead
the Prophet in prayer." Then the Prophet said to the people, "If some
problem arises during prayers, then the men should say, Subhan Allah!; and
the women should clap." (See Hadith No. 652, Vol. 1)

Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: Abu Bakr sent for me owing to
the large number of casualties in the battle of Al-Yamama, while 'Umar was
sitting with him. Abu Bakr said (to me), 'Umar has come to my and said, 'A
great number of Qaris of the Holy Quran were killed on the day of the battle
of Al-Yamama, and I am afraid that the casualties among the Qaris of the
Quran may increase on other battle-fields whereby a large part of the Quran
may be lost. Therefore I consider it advisable that you (Abu Bakr) should
have the Qur'an collected.' I said, 'How dare I do something which Allah's
Apostle did not do?' 'Umar said, By Allah, it is something beneficial.'
'Umar kept on pressing me for that till Allah opened my chest for that for
which He had opened the chest of 'Umar and I had in that matter, the same
opinion as 'Umar had." Abu Bakr then said to me (Zaid), "You are a wise
young man and we do not have any suspicion about you, and you used to write
the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Apostle. So you should search for the
fragmentary scripts of the Quran and collect it (in one Book)." Zaid further
said: By Allah, if Abu Bakr had ordered me to shift a mountain among the
mountains from one place to another it would not have been heavier for me
than this ordering me to collect the Qur'an. Then I said (to 'Umar and Abu
Bakr), "How can you do something which Allah's Apostle did not do?" Abu Bakr
said, "By Allah, it is something beneficial." Zaid added: So he (Abu Bakr)
kept on pressing me for that until Allah opened my chest for that for which
He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and I had in that matter,
the same opinion as theirs. So I started compiling the Quran by collecting
it from the leafless stalks of the date-palm tree and from the pieces of
leather and hides and from the stones, and from the chests of men (who had
memorized the Quran). I found the last verses of Sirat-at-Tauba: ("Verily
there has come unto you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves--'
(9.128-129) ) from Khuzaima or Abi Khuzaima and I added to it the rest of
the Sura. The manuscripts of the Quran remained with Abu Bakr till Allah
took him unto Him. Then it remained with 'Umar till Allah took him unto Him,
and then with Hafsa bint 'Umar.

Narrated Abu Laila bin 'Abdullah bin Abdur-Rahman bin
Sahl: Sahl bin Abi Hathma and some great men of his tribe said, 'Abdullah
bin 'Sahl and Muhaiyisa went out to Khaibar as they were struck with poverty
and difficult living conditions. Then Muhaiyisa was informed that Abdullah
had been killed and thrown in a pit or a spring. Muhaiyisa went to the Jews
and said, "By Allah, you have killed my companion." The Jews said, "By
Allah, we have not killed him." Muhaiyisa then came back to his people and
told them the story. He, his elder brother Huwaiyisa and 'Abdur-Rahman bin
Sahl came (to the Prophet) and he who had been at Khaibar, proceeded to
speak, but the Prophet said to Muhaiyisa, "The eldest! The eldest!" meaning,
"Let the eldest of you speak." So Huwaiyisa spoke first and then Muhaiyisa.
Allah's Apostle said, "The Jews should either pay the blood money of your
(deceased) companion or be ready for war." After that Allah's Apostle wrote
a letter to the Jews in that respect, and they wrote that they had not
killed him. Then Allah's Apostle said to Huwaiyisa, Muhaiyisa and
'Abdur-Rahman, "Can you take an oath by which you will be entitled to take
the blood money?" They said, "No." He said (to them), "Shall we ask the Jews
to take an oath before you?" They replied, "But the Jews are not Muslims."
So Allah's Apostle gave them one-hundred she-camels as blood money from
himself. Sahl added: When those she-camels were made to enter the house, one
of them kicked me with its leg.

bedouin came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Judge between us according to
Allah's Book (Laws)." His opponent stood up and said, "He has said the
truth, so judge between us according to Allah's Laws." The bedouin said, "My
son was a laborer for this man and committed illegal sexual intercourse with
his wife. The people said to me, 'Your son is to be stoned to death,' so I
ransomed my son for one hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the
religious learned men and they said to me, 'Your son has to receive one
hundred lashes plus one year of exile.' " The Prophet said, "I shall judge
between you according to Allah's Book (Laws)! As for the slave girl and the
sheep, it shall be returned to you, and your son shall receive one-hundred
lashes and be exiled for one year. O you, Unais!" The Prophet addressed some
man, "Go in the morning to the wife of this man and stone her to death." So
Unais went to her the next morning and stoned her to death.

Narrated Abu Humaid As-Sa'idi: The Prophet employed Ibn
Al-Utbiyya to collect Zakat from Bani Sulaim, and when he returned (with the
money) to Allah's Apostle the Prophet called him to account, and he said,
"This (amount) is for you, and this was given to me as a present." Allah's
Apostle said, "Why don't you stay at your father's house or your mother's
house to see whether you will be given gifts or not, if you are telling the
truth?" Then Allah's Apostle stood up and addressed the people, and after
glorifying and praising Allah, he said: Amma Ba'du (then after) I employ
some men from among you for some job which Allah has placed in my charge,
and then one of you comes to me and says, 'This (amount) is for you and this
is a gift given to me.' Why doesn't he stay at the house of his father or
the house of his mother and see whether he will be given gifts or not if he
was telling the truth by Allah, none of you takes anything of it (i.e.,
Zakat) for himself (Hisham added: unlawfully) but he will meet Allah on the
Day of Resurrection carrying it on his neck! I do not want to see any of you
carrying a grunting camel or a mooing cow or a bleating sheep on meeting
Allah." Then the Prophet raised both his hands till I saw the whiteness of
his armpits, and said, "(No doubt)! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message!"

do good and exhorts him to do it, and the other group advising him to do
evil and exhorts him to do it. But the protected person (against such evil
advisors) is the one protected by Allah.' "

Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama: The group of people whom
'Umar had selected as candidates for the Caliphate gathered and consulted
each other. Abdur-Rahman said to them, "I am not going to compete with you
in this matter, but if you wish, I would select for you a caliph from among
you." So all of them agreed to let 'Abdur-Rahman decide the case. So when
the candidates placed the case in the hands of 'Abdur-Rahman, the people
went towards him and nobody followed the rest of the group nor obeyed any
after him. So the people followed 'Abdur-Rahman and consulted him all those
nights till there came the night we gave the oath of allegiance to 'Uthman.
Al-Miswar (bin Makhrama) added: 'Abdur-Rahman called on me after a portion
of the night had passed and knocked on my door till I got up, and he said to
me, "I see you have been sleeping! By Allah, during the last three nights I
have not slept enough. Go and call Az-Zubair and Sa'd.' So I called them for
him and he consulted them and then called me saying, 'Call 'Ali for me." I
called 'Ali and he held a private talk with him till very late at night, and
then 'Al, got up to leave having had much hope (to be chosen as a Caliph)
but 'Abdur-Rahman was afraid of something concerning 'Ali. 'Abdur-Rahman
then said to me, "Call 'Uthman for me." I called him and he kept on speaking
to him privately till the Mu'adhdhin put an end to their talk by announcing
the Adhan for the Fajr prayer. When the people finished their morning prayer
and that (six men) group gathered near the pulpit, 'Abdur-Rahman sent for
all the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the Ansar present there and sent for the
army chief who had performed the Hajj with 'Umar that year. When all of them
had gathered, 'Abdur-Rahman said, "None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah," and added, "Now then, O 'Ali, I have looked at the people's
tendencies and noticed that they do not consider anybody equal to 'Uthman,
so you should not incur blame (by disagreeing)." Then 'Abdur-Rahman said (to
'Uthman), "I gave the oath of allegiance to you on condition that you will
follow Allah's Laws and the traditions of Allah's Apostle and the traditions
of the two Caliphs after him." So 'Abdur-Rahman gave the oath of allegiance
to him, and so did the people including the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the
Ansar and the chiefs of the army staff and all the Muslims.

Resurrection nor will purify them from sins, and they will have a painful
punishment: They are, (1) a man possessed superfluous water (more than he
needs) on a way and he withholds it from the travelers. (2) a man who gives
a pledge of allegiance to an Imam (ruler) and gives it only for worldly
benefits, if the Imam gives him what he wants, he abides by his pledge,
otherwise he does not fulfill his pledge; (3) and a man who sells something
to another man after the 'Asr prayer and swears by Allah (a false oath) that
he has been offered so much for it whereupon the buyer believes him and buys
it although in fact, the seller has not been offered such a price." (See

Not to commit illegal sexual intercourse, (4) Not to kill your children, (5)
Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an accusation among
people), (6) Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deeds. The
Prophet added: Whoever amongst you fulfill his pledge, his reward will be
with Allah, and whoever commits any of those sins and receives the legal
punishment in this world for that sin, then that punishment will be an
expiation for that sin, and whoever commits any of those sins and Allah does
not expose him, then it is up to Allah if He wishes He will punish him or if
He wishes, He will forgive him." So we gave the Pledge for that. (See Hadith

and said, "Such-and-such a woman cried over a dead person belonging to my
family and I want to compensate her for that crying" The Prophet did not say

Allah's Apostle said, "If that (i.e., your death) should happen while I am
still alive, I would ask Allah to forgive you and would invoke Allah for
you." 'Aisha said, "O my life which is going to be lost! By Allah, I think
that you wish for my death, and if that should happen then you would be busy
enjoying the company of one of your wives in the last part of that day." The
Prophet said, "But I should say, 'O my head!' I feel like calling Abu Bakr
and his son and appoint (the former as my successors lest people should say
something or wish for something. Allah will insist (on Abu Bakr becoming a
Caliph) and the believers will prevent (anyone else from claiming the
Caliphate)," or "..Allah will prevent (anyone else from claiming the

successor) it is true that somebody who was better than I (i.e., Abu Bakr)
did so, and if I leave the matter undecided, it is true that somebody who
was better than I (i.e., Allah's Apostle) did so." On this, the people
praised him. 'Umar said, "People are of two kinds: Either one who is keen to
take over the Caliphate or one who is afraid of assuming such a
responsibility. I wish I could be free from its responsibility in that I
would receive neither reward nor retribution I won't bear the burden of the
caliphate in my death as I do in my life."

Narrated Anas bin Malik: That he heard 'Umar's second
speech he delivered when he sat on the pulpit on the day following the death
of the Prophet 'Umar recited the Tashahhud while Abu Bakr was silent. 'Umar
said, "I wish that Allah's Apostle had outlived all of us, i.e., had been
the last (to die). But if Muhammad is dead, Allah nevertheless has kept the
light amongst you from which you can receive the same guidance as Allah
guided Muhammad with that. And Abu Bakr is the companion of Allah's Apostle
He is the second of the two in the cave. He is the most entitled person
among the Muslims to manage your affairs. Therefore get up and swear
allegiance to him." Some people had already taken the oath of allegiance to
him in the shed of Bani Sa'ida but the oath of allegiance taken by the
public was taken at the pulpit. I heard 'Umar saying to Abu Bakr on that
day. "Please ascend the pulpit," and kept on urging him till he ascended the
pulpit whereupon, all the people swore allegiance to him.
