حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنِي حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، أَتَى أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ بَايَعْتَ أَمِيرَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَمِيرٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، بَايَعْتُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، فَجَاءَ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ، فَسَاقُونِي، ، إِلَى حُبَيْشِ (١) بْنِ دَلَجَةَ (٢) فَبَايَعْتُهُ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: إِيَّاهَا كُنْتُ أَخَافُ، إِيَّاهَا كُنْتُ أَخَافُ - وَمَدَّ بِهَا حَمَّادٌ صَوْتَهُ - قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ لَا يَنَامَ نَوْمًا، وَلَا يُصْبِحَ صَبَاحًا، وَلَا يُمْسِيَ مَسَاءً إِلَّا وَعَلَيْهِ أَمِيرٌ "؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، وَلَكِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُبَايِعَ أَمِيرَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَمِيرٍ وَاحِدٍ (٣)، ،

Bishr bin Harb says that once Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I have come to know that you pledged allegiance to two leaders before there was consensus on one leader?" He replied, "Yes! I pledged allegiance to Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), then the people of Syria came and dragged me to the army of Ibn Dillah, so I was compelled to pledge allegiance to him as well." Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "This is exactly what I fear (he said it twice)." Then Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Abdur Rahman! Did you not hear the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) that whoever has the ability that no sleep passes, no morning or evening comes upon him except that he has a ruler over him, then he should do so?" He replied, "Yes! I have heard it, but I dislike pledging allegiance to two leaders before there is consensus on one leader among the people."
