Successor In Sahih AlBukhari

Hadith Page	Arabic Text	English Translation	Book and Chapter
SahihAlBukhari-017-001-1313		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 Messenger ﷺ 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 wont bear the burden of the caliphate in my death as I do in my life.

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-3231		Narrated Malik Bin Aus Bin AlHadathan: Once I set out to visit Umar bin AlKhattab. While I was sitting there with him his gate-keeper; Yarfa; came and said; Uthman Abdulrahman bin Auf ; AlZubair and Saad bin Abi Waqqas are seeking permission to meet you. Umar said; Yes. So he admitted them and they entered; greeted; and sat down. After a short while Yarfa came again and said to Umar Shall I admit Ali and Abbas? Umar said; Yes. He admitted them and when they entered; they greeted and sat down. Abbas said; O Chief of the Believers! Judge between me and this Ali. The group; Uthman and his companions Sad; O Chief of the Believers! Judge between them and relieve one from the other. Umar said. Wait! I beseech you by Allah; by Whose permission both the Heaven and the Earth stand fast ! Do you know that Allah Messenger ﷺ said. We Apostles do not bequeath anything to our heirs; but whatever we leave is to be given in charity. And by that Allah Messenger ﷺ s meant himself? The group said; He did say so. Umar then turned towards All and Abbas and said. I beseech you both by Allah; do you know that Allah Messenger ﷺ said that? They said; Yes Umar said; Now; let me talk to you about this matter. Allah favored His Apostle with something of this property war booty which He did not give to anybody else. And Allah said:- And what Allah has bestowed on His Apostle as Fai Booty from them for which you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry... Allah is Able to do all things. 59.6 So this property was especially granted to Allah Messenger ﷺ. But by Allah he neither withheld it from you; nor did he keep it for himself and deprive you of it; but he gave it all to you and distributed it among you till only this remained out of it. And out of this property Allah Messenger ﷺ used to provide his family with their yearly needs; and whatever remained; he would spend where Allah Property the revenues of Zakat used to be spent. Allah Messenger ﷺ kept on acting like this throughout his lifetime. Now I beseech you by Allah; do you know that? They said; Yes. Then Umar said to Ali and Abbas; I beseech you by Allah; do you both know that? They said; Yes. Umar added; When Allah had taken His Apostle unto Him; Abu Bakr said; I am the successor of Allah Messenger ﷺ. So he took charge of that property and did with it the same what Allah Messenger ﷺ used to do; and both of you knew all about it then. Then Umar turned towards Ali and Abbas and said; You both claim that Abu Bakr was so-and-so! But Allah knows that he was honest; sincere; pious and right in that matter. Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to die; and I said; I am the successor of Allah Messenger ﷺ and Abu Bakr. So I kept this property in my possession for the first two years of my rule; and I used to do the same with it as Allah Messenger ﷺ and Abu Bakr used to do. Later both of you Ali and Abbas came to me with the same claim and the same problem. O Abbas! You came to me demanding your share from the inheritance of the son of your brother; and he Ali came to me demanding his wives share from the inheritance of her father. So I said to you; If you wish I will hand over this property to you; on condition that you both promise me before Allah that you will manage it in the same way as Allah Messenger ﷺ and Abu Bakr did; and as I have done since the beginning of my rule; otherwise you should not speak to me about it. So you both said; Hand over this property to us on this condition. And on this condition I handed it over to you. I beseech you by Allah; did I hand it over to them on that condition? The group said; Yes. Umar then faced Ali and Abbas and said; I beseech you both by Allah; did I hand it over to you both on that condition? They both said; Yes. Umar added; Do you want me now to give a decision other than that? By Him with Whose permission order both the Heaven and the Earth stand fast; I will never give any decision other than that till the Hour is established! But if you are unable to manage it that property ; then return it to me and I will be sufficient for it on your behalf.

A man from Quraish came to him and said; Appoint your successor. Uthman asked; Did the people name him? i.e. the successor the man said; Yes. Uthman asked; Who is that? The man remained silent. Another man came to Uthman and I think it was AlHarith. He also said; Appoint your successor. Uthman asked; Did the people name him? The man replied Yes. Uthman said; Who is that? The man remained silent. Uthman said; Perhaps they have mentioned AlZubair? The man said; Yes. Uthman said; By Him in Whose Hands my life is; he is the best of them as I know; and the dearest of them to Allah Messenger ﷺ.

SahihMuslim-017-001-17648		Jaber Bin Abdullah Allah be pleased with them reported Allah Messenger may peace be upan him as saying: He who conferred a life grant upon a person; it becomes his possession and that of his successors; for he surrendered his right in that by his declaration. This property now belongs to one to whom this lifelong grant has been made; and to his successors. Yahya narrated in the beginning of his narration: Whatever man is given a life grant; then it belongs to him and his posterity.

SahihMuslim-017-001-17698		It has been narrated on the authority of Abdullah Bin Umar who said: I was present with my father when he was wounded. People praised him and said: May God give you a noble recompense! He said: I am hopeful of God mercy as well as afraid of His wrath People said: Appoint anyone as your successor. He said: Should I carry the burden of conducting your affairs in my life as well as in my death? So far as Caliphate is concerned I wish I could acquit myself before the Almighty in a way that there is neither anything to my credit nor anything to my discredit. If I would appoint my successor; I would because one better than me did so. He meant Abu Bakr. If I would leave You alone; I would do so because one better than me; i. e. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; did so. Abdullah says: When he mentioned the Messenger of Allah ﷺ I understood that he would not appoint anyone as Caliph.

SahihMuslim-017-001-17699		It has been reported on the authority of Ibn Umar who said: I entered the apartment of my sister Hafsa. She said: Do yoa know that your father is not going to nominate his successor? I said: He wont do that i. e. he would nominate. She said: He is going to do that. The narrator said: I took an oath that I will talk to him about the matter. I kept quiet until the next morning; still I did not talk to him; and I felt as if I were carryint; a mountain on my right hand. At last I came to him and entered his apartment. Seeing me he began to ask me about the condition of the people; and I informed him about them. Then I said to him: I heard something from the people and took an oath that I will communicate it to you. They presume that you are not going to nominate a successor. If a grazer of camels and sheep that you had appointed comes back to you leaving the cattle; you will certainly think that the cattle are lost. To look after the people is more serious and grave. The dying Caliph was moved at my words. He bent his head in a thoughtful mood for some time and raised it to me and said: God will doubtlessly protect His religion. If I do not nominate a successor I have a precedent before me ; for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not nominate his successor. And if I nominate one I have a precedent ; for Abu Bakr did nominate. The narrator Ibn Umar said: By God. when he mentioned the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr; I at once understood that he would not place anyone at a par with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and would not nominate anyone.

If I appoint a successor I can do so ; for Abu Bakr had appointed a successor. He Ibn Umar said: I swear by Allah; he did not mention anyone but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr.
