حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ خُطَبَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ قَرَنَ مَعَهُ رَجُلًا مِنَّا، فَنَرَى أَنْ يَلِيَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ رَجُلَانِ: أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْكُمْ، وَالْآخَرُ مِنَّا. قَالَ: فَتَتَابَعَتْ خُطَبَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَقَامَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، فَقَالَ: "إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، وَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، وَنَحْنُ أَنْصَارُهُ كَمَا كُنَّا أَنْصَارَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "، فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَقَالَ: "جَزَاكُمُ اللهُ خَيْرًا مِنْ حَيٍّ يَا مَعْشَرَ، ، الْأَنْصَارِ، وَثَبَّتَ قَائِلَكُمْ "، ثُمَّ قَالَ: "وَاللهِ لَوْ فَعَلْتُمْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ لَمَا صَالَحْنَاكُمْ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) passed away, the speakers of the Ansar stood up. Among them, someone was saying, "O group of Muhajireen! Whenever the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) appointed any one of you to a task or position, he would also include one man from among us. Therefore, our opinion is that there should be two leaders for this government: one from among you and one from among us." And the speakers of the Ansar kept repeating this matter. Upon this, Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was from among the Muhajireen, therefore the ruler will also be from among the Muhajireen. We will be his helpers, just as we were the helpers of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)." Then Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "O group of Ansar! May Allah reward you with goodness on behalf of this tribe and keep your spokesman steadfast." Then he said, "By Allah! If you had chosen any other way besides this, we would not have agreed with you."
