Narrated Jubair bin Mut’im:
A woman came to the Prophet and spoke to him about something and he told her to return to him.
She said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If I come and do not find you?” (As if she meant, “…if you die?”) The
Prophet said, “If you should not find me, then go to Abu Bakr.”

cuse yourselves “

Narrated Jabir bin Samura:

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is, I was about to order for collecting fire
wood and then order someone to pronounce the Adhan for the prayer and then order someone to
lead the people in prayer and then I would go from behind and burn the houses of men who did not
present themselves for the (compulsory congregational) prayer. By Him in Whose Hands my life is, if
anyone of you had known that he would receive a bone covered with meat or two (small) pieces of
meat present in between two ribs, he would come for ‘Isha’ prayer.” (See Hadith No. 617, Vol. 1)

us, and so we (I and my companions) stayed fifty nights in that state, and then Allah’s Apostle an –
nounced Allah’s acceptance of our repentance.”

Volume 9, Book 89, Number 325:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
It was said to ‘Umar, “Will you appoint your successor?” Umar said, “If I appoint a Caliph (as my
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.”
Volume 9, Book 89, Number 326:
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 af –
fairs. Therefore get up and swear allegiance to him.” Some people had already taken the oath of alle –
giance 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 ur –
ging him till he ascended the pulpit whereupon, all the people swore allegiance to him.
Volume 9, Book 89, Number 322:
Narrated Um Atiyya:
We gave the Pledge of allegiance to the Prophet and he recited to me the verse (60.12). That they
will not associate anything in worship with Allah (60.12). And he also prevented us from wailing
and lamenting over the dead. A woman from us held her hand out and said, “Such-and-such a wo –
man cried over a dead person belonging to my family and I want to compensate her for that crying”
The Prophet did not say anything in reply and she left and returned. None of those women abided by
her pledge except Um Sulaim, Um Al-‘Ala’, and the daughter of Abi Sabra, the wife of Al-Muadh or
the daughter of Abi Sabra, and the wife of Mu’adh.
