Narrated Anas bin Malik:
That he heard ‘Umar speaking while standing on the pulpit of the Prophet in the morning (follow –
ing the death of the Prophet), when the people had sworn allegiance to Abu Bakr. He said the
Tashah-hud before Abu Bakr, and said, “Amma Ba’du (then after) Allah has chosen for his Apostle
what is with Him (Paradise) rather than what is with you (the world). This is that Book (Quran) with
which Allah guided your Apostle, so stick to it, for then you will be guided on the right path as Allah
guided His Apostle with it.”
