Ikki shayx rivoyat qilishicha, Umar ibn al-Xattob, Alloh undan rozi bo‘lsin, Hajdan qaytgach xalqqa murojaat qilib, xutbasida shunday degan: «Menga yetib keldiki, sizlardan falonchi: “Agar Umar o‘lsa, men falonchiga bay’at qilaman”, deb aytgan. Hech kim o‘zini aldab: “Abu Bakrga bay’at tuyuqsiz va kutilmagan holda qilindi”, demasin. Shunday bo‘lgan, ammo Alloh (bizni) uning yomonligidan asragan. Bugun sizlar orasida Abu Bakrday, raqiblarning bo‘yinlari unga qarab to‘xtaydigan bir kishi yo‘q. U Allahning Elchisi ﷺ vafot etganlarida bizning eng yaxshilarimizdan edi. Ali, az-Zubayr va ular bilan birga bo‘lganlar Fotima uyida qolishdi. Ansorlarning hammasi bizdan Bani Sa‘ida ayvonida chetda turishdi. Muhojirlar Abu Bakr atrofiga to‘planishdi. Shunda men unga dedim: “Ey Abu Bakr, biz birodarlarimiz bo‘lmish ansorlarning oldiga boraylik!” Shunday qilib, ikki yaxshi kishi bizga duch kelgunicha yo‘lga chiqdik va ular bizga xalqning qilgan ishini aytib berishdi. Ular dedilar: “Ey muhojirlar, qayerga bormoqchisizlar?” Men dedim: “Biz birodarlarimiz ansorlarning oldiga bormoqchimiz!” Ular dedilar: “Ularga yaqinlashmanglar, balki o‘z ishingizni o‘zingiz hal qilinglar, ey muhojirlar!” Men dedim: “Alloh haqqi, biz ularning oldiga boramiz.” Biz borib, Bani Sa‘ida ayvonida ularning hammasi to‘planganini va ularning o‘rtasida butunlay o‘ralib olgan bir kishi o‘tirganini ko‘rdik. Men so‘radim: “Bu kim?” Ular dedilar: “Sa‘d ibn Ubada.” Men so‘radim: “Unga nima bo‘ldi?” Ular dedilar: “U og‘riyapti.” Biz o‘tirgach, ularning notiqi turib, Allohga munosib hamdu sanolar aytdi va dedi: “Endi biz Allohning ansorlarimiz va Islom lashkarimiz, sizlar esa, ey muhojirlar, bizning bir oz qismimizsiz, sizlardan bir guruh esa bizni ildizdan yo‘q qilib, hokimiyatdan chetlashtirish niyatida sekin-asta kelib qoldingiz.” U jim bo‘lgach, men gapirmoqchi bo‘ldim. Men o‘zimga yoqqan va Abu Bakr huzurida aytmoqchi bo‘lgan bir nutqni tayyorlab qo‘ygan edim. Men Abu Bakrda yumshoqlik va sabr-toqatni, o‘zimdan ko‘ra ko‘proq vazminlik va viqorni ko‘rganman, deb o‘ylardim. Shunda Abu Bakr: «Asta-sekinroq», dedi. Men uni g‘azablantirishni yoqtirmasdim, u esa mendan ko‘ra bilimliroq edi. Allohga qasamki, u tayyorlab kelgan nutqimdagi yoqqan bir so‘zni ham qoldirmay, o‘sha so‘zlarning o‘zini va ulardan ham yaxshiroq ifodalarni o‘z so‘zida, unda hech tayyorgarliksiz aytib berdi, to sukut saqlagunicha. U dedi: «Sizlar o‘zlaringiz haqida aytgan yaxshiliklarga, albatta, loyiqsizlar. Lekin arablar bu buyruqni (xalifalikni) faqat Quraysh qabilasining mana shu bo‘limidan boshqasiga tan olmaydi. Nasab va qabila jihatidan ular arablarning eng sharaflisidir. Men sizlar uchun bu ikki kishidan biriga rozi bo‘laman, shuning uchun ularning qaysi birini xohlasangiz, unga bay‘at qiling». U mening qo‘limdan, Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrohning qo‘lidan ushladi (u ikkimizning o‘rtamizda o‘tirgan edi). Uning aytganlaridan faqat shu narsa menga yoqmadi, xolos. Allohga qasamki, agar meni oldinga surib, boshimni kesib tashlashsa, va bu hech qanday gunohim uchun bo‘lmasa-da, Abu Bakr bor xalq ustidan amir bo‘lishimdan ko‘ra, bu menga ko‘proq yoqimli bo‘lardi. So‘ngra ulardan bir notiq dedi: «Men shunday odamman, odamlar mening maslahatim bilan tinchlik topadilar; mening oilam bor, u meni qo‘llab-quvvatlaydi va himoya qiladi (so‘zma-so‘z: «Men ularning ko‘p ishqalanadigan kichik tayanchi va hurmatli kichik xurmosiman»). Bizdan bir amir, sizlardan (ey Quraysh) bir amir bo‘lsin». Shunda tartibsizlik kuchaydi, ovozlar baland ko‘tarildi, hatto men fitnadan qo‘rqadigan bo‘ldim. Shunda men dedim: «Qo‘lingizni cho‘zing, ey Abu Bakr». U qo‘lini cho‘zdi, men unga bay‘at qildim. Muhojirlar unga bay‘at qildilar, so‘ngra ansorlar ham unga bay‘at qildilar. Allohga qasamki, biz yig‘ilgan bu ish uchun Abu Bakrga bay‘at qilishdan ko‘ra munosibroq narsani topa olmadik. Biz, agar odamlardan ajralib, bay'at bo'lmasa, ular bizdan keyin bay'at tuzishlaridan va bizni o'zimizga yoqmagan asosda bay'at qilishga majbur bo'lishimizdan yoki ular bilan qarshilashishimizdan, shu sababli o'rtada fitna paydo bo'lishidan qo'rqdik.

I lie two Shaykhs narrated that cUmar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, addressed the people upon his return from the Hajj and said in his khutbah: It has reached me that so-andso of you said, ‘If cUmar were to die I would pledge allegiance to so-and-so.’ Let no man deceive himself by saying, ‘The pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr was made suddenly and unexpectedly.’ It was like that but Allah protected (us) from the evil of it. There is not among you today one behind whom the necks of competitors stop short (an Arabic expression) like Abu Bakr. He was one of the best of us when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died. cAli and az-Zubayr and those with them stayed back in the house of Fatimah. The Ansar all stayed away from us in the roofed gallery of Bani Sacidah. The Muhajirun gathered around Abu Bakr, so I said to him, ‘Abu Bakr, let us be off to our brethren, the Ansar! So we went off until two good men met us and mentioned to us what the people had done. They said, ‘Where do you intend (going) Muhajirun? I said, ‘We want our brethren the Ansar! They said, ‘You must not approach them, but decide your own affair, Muhajirun! I said, ‘By Allah, we will go to them.’ We went on until we came to them in the roofed gallery of Bani Sacidah and there they were all gathered, and right in the middle of them a man all muffled up. I said, ‘Who is this?’ They said, ‘Sa°d ibn cUbadah.’ I said, What is wrong with him?’ They said, ‘He is in pain.’ When we sat down, their speaker stood, praised Allah as He is worthy and said, ‘And now, we are the Ansar of Allah, and the battalion of Islam and you, Muhajirun, are a handful of us, and a party of you have come at a leisurely pace wishing to uproot us and exclude us from the command.’ When he became silent I wanted to speak. I had prepared a speech that pleased me and which I wanted to deliver in the presence of Abu Bakr. I used to fear in him a lack of incisiveness and he was milder, more forbearing than me and more dignified. Then Abu Bakr said, ‘Gently.’ I disliked to anger him, and he was more knowledgeable than me. By Allah, he did not leave a word that had pleased me in my prepared speech but that he said it in his spontaneous talk, the like of it and better than it until he was silent. He said, ‘Now, as for that good which you have mentioned about yourselves, you are worthy of it, but the Arabs will never recognise this command except among this section of Quraysh. They are the midmost (noblest) of the Arabs by descent and by tribe, and I am contented for you with either of these two men, (so pledge allegiance to) whichever of them you wish.’ He took hold of my hand and the hand of Abu cUbaydah ibn al-Jarrah (and he was seated between us) and I disliked nothing he had said apart from that. It was, by Allah, such that if I were to be put forward and my head struck off, that not approaching me because of any guilt, it would have been more beloved to me than that I should assume command over a people among whom was Abu Bakr. Then a speaker from them said, ‘I am of those by means of whose counsel people seek relief and one having a family that will aid and defend me (literally, ‘I am their much-rubbed little rubbing post and their honoured little palm-tree’). Let there be from us an amir and from you an amir, Quraysh.’ Then the confusion increased and voices were raised until I became afraid of dissension, so I said, 'Stretch out your hand, Abu Bakr,’ and he stretched out his hand Hlid 1 swore allegiance to him, the Muhajirun swore allegiance to him, then the Ansar swore allegiance to him. By Allah, we did not lind in that for which we assembled a matter more fitting than the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. We feared that if we separated from the people and there was no pledge of allegiance that they would conclude a pledge of allegiance after we had gone, and we would have to pledge allegiance on a basis with which we were not pleased, or we would have to oppose them so that there would be strife over that.

An-Nasoiy, Abu Yo'la va al-Hokim, uni sahih deb e'lon qilgan, Ibn Mas'ud rivoyat qilib aytdi: Allohning Elchisi ﷺ vafot etganlarida, Ansorlar dedi: "Bizdan bir amir, sizdan bir amir bo'lsin!" Umar ibn al-Xattob, Alloh ulardan rozi bo'lsin, ularning oldiga kelib dedi: "Ey Ansorlar, Allohning Elchisi ﷺ Abu Bakrga odamlarga (namozda) imomlik qilishni buyurganini bilmaysizmi? Sizlardan qaysi biringiz Abu Bakrdan oldin o'tishni xohlaydi?" Ansorlar dedilar: "Abu Bakrdan oldin o'tishdan Allohga panoh tilaymiz." Ibn Sa'd, al-Hokim va al-Bayhaqiy rivoyat qilishicha, Abu Sa'id al-Xudriy aytdi: Allohning Elchisi ﷺ vafot etdilar va odamlar Sa'd ibn Ubodaning uyiga yig'ildilar. Ular orasida Abu Bakr va Umar ham bor edi. Ansorlarning notiqlari o'rnidan turdilar, ulardan biri so'zlay boshladi: "Ey Muhojirlar, Allohning Elchisi ﷺ qachonki sizlardan birortangizni biror lavozimga tayinlasalar, unga bizdan birortasini qo'shib qo'yardilar. Shuning uchun bizning fikrimizcha, bu vazifaga bizdan bir kishi va sizdan bir kishi tayinlansin." Ansorlarning notiqlari shu mavzuda ketma-ket so'zladilar. Keyin Zayd ibn Sobit o'rnidan turib dedi: "Allohning Elchisi ﷺ Muhojirlardan ekanliklarini bilmaysizmi? Uning xalifasi ham Muhojirlardandir. Biz esa Allohning Elchisi ﷺ ansorlari bo'lganmiz, xalifasining ham ansorlari bo'lamiz, xuddi ilgari uning ansorlari bo'lganimizdek!" U Abu Bakrning qo'lini ushlab dedi: "Mana sizning odamingiz!" Shundan so'ng Umar unga bay'at qildi, keyin Muhojirlar va Ansorlar ham bay'at qildilar. Abu Bakr minbarga chiqib, odamlarning yuzlariga qaradi va Zubayrni topa olmadi. Shunda u Zubayrni chaqirdi va u keldi.

An-Nasa’i, Abu Yacla and al-Hakim, who declared it sahih, narrated that Ibn Mascud said: When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was taken, the Ansar said, ‘Let there be from us an amir and from you an amir! cUmar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, came to them and said, 'Ansar, do you not know that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered Abu Bakr to lead the people (in salah)? So which of you would be pleased to give himself precedence O ver Abu Bakr?’ The Ansar said, ‘We seek refuge with Allah that we should give ourselves precedence over Abu Bakr.’ Ibn Sacd, al-Hakim and al-Bayhaqi narrated that Abu Sacid al- Khudri said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died and the people assembled in the house of Sacd ibn °Ubadah and among them were Abu Bakr and cUmar, and the public speakers of the Ansar stood up and one of them began to speak, saying, ‘You men of the Muhajirun, whenever the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace, appointed one of you to any position of authority, he paired one of us with him; we think therefore that a man from us and a man from you should be appointed to this command.’ The public speakers of the Ansar followed each other on that same theme. Then Zaid ibn ’ lhabit stood up and said, ‘Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was one of the Muhajirun and his khalifah is one of the Muhajirun and we were the Ansar of the Messenger of Allah and we shall be the Ansar of the khalifah of the Messenger of Allah just as we were his Ansar! He took the hand of Abu Bakr and said, ‘This is your man,’ then cUmar swore allegiance to him and then the Muhajirun and the Ansar. Abu Bakr ascended the minbar and looked at people’s faces and did not find az-Zubayr, so he called for az-Zubayr and he came.

U (Abu Bakr) dedi: "Sen, Allohning Elchisi ﷺ ning xolasining o'g'li va uning shogirdi, muslimonlarning asosini sindirmoqchisan, dedi." Shunda u: "Sizga hech qanday ayb yo'q, Allohning Elchisi ﷺ ning xalifasi", dedi va o'rnidan turib unga bay'at qildi. So'ng u odamlarning yuzlariga qaradi, ammo Ali ni ko'rmadi. Shunda uni chaqirdi va u keldi. U dedi: "Sen, Allohning Elchisi ﷺ ning amakisining o'g'li va qizi bilan qarindoshlik aloqasi bor, muslimonlarning asosini sindirmoqchisan, dedi." Shunda u: "Sizga hech qanday ayb yo'q, Allohning Elchisi ﷺ ning xalifasi", dedi va unga bay'at qildi.

He (Abu Bakr) said, ‘You said, son of the aunt of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his disciple, that you want to break the staff of the Muslims.’ So he said, ‘There is no blame on you Khalifah of the Messenger of Allah,’ and he stood and pledged allegiance to him. Then he looked at the faces of the people and could not see cAli so he summoned him and he came. He said, ‘You said, son of the uncle of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his relation through marriage to his daughter, that you want to break the staff of the Muslims.’ So he said, ‘There is no blame on you, Khalifah of the Messenger of Allah,’ and he pledged allegiance to him.

Ibn Ishoq as-Siyar kitobida aytadi. az-Zuhriy menga rivoyat qildi: Anas ibn Molik menga rivoyat qildi va dedi: Abu Bakr majlis zalida bay'at qilinganda, ertasi kuni u minbarga o'tirdi, Umar esa turib, Abu Bakrdan oldin so'zladi, Allohga hamd aytdi va dedi: "Alloh sizning hokimiyatingizni eng yaxshingizga jam qildi – Rasulullohning ﷺ sohibiga, "ikkovlari g'orda bo'lganda, ikkinchisi" (Qur'on 9:40). Shuning uchun turing va unga bay'at qiling". Majlis zalidagi bay'atdan keyin esa odamlar Abu Bakrga umumiy va ommaviy bay'at qilishdi. So'ngra Abu Bakr so'zladi, Allohga hamd aytdi va dedi: "Endi, ey odamlar, men sizlarning ustingizga hokim qilib qo'yildim, lekin men sizlarning eng yaxshingiz emasman. Shunday ekan, agar men to'g'ri ish qilsam, menga yordam bering; agar noto'g'ri ish qilsam, meni to'g'rilang. Rostgo'ylik – amanatdir, yolg'on esa xiyonatdir. Sizlarning orangizdagi zaif kishi men uchun kuchlidir, to'g'rirog'i, unga haqini qaytarmagunimcha, inshaAlloh; sizlarning kuchlingiz esa men undan haqni olmagunimcha, zaifdir, inshaAlloh."

Ibn Ishaq said in as-Sirab. az-Zuhri narrated to me: Anas ibn Malik narrated to me and he said: When Abu Bakr was pledged allegiance in the assembly hall, then, on the morrow, he sat upon the minbar and cUmar stood and spoke before Abu Bakr, praised Allah, and said, Allah has gathered your authority to the best of you, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah and the “second of the two when they two were in the cave” (Qur’an 9: 40), so stand and pledge allegiance to him,’ and the people pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr with a general and public allegiance after the allegiance made in the assembly hall. Then Abu Bakr spoke, praised Allah, and said, ‘And now, people, I have been put in authority over you and I am not the best of you. So if I do right then help me, and if I do wrong then put me straight. Truthfulness is a sacred trust and lying is a betrayal. The weak one among you is strong as far as I am concerned until I restore to him his right, inshaAllah, and the strong one of you is weak until I take what is due from him, insha’Allah.

"Hech bir qavm Alloh yo'lidagi jihodni tark etmaydiki, Alloh ularga xo'rlovchi zarbani bermasin. Hech bir fahsh-buzuqlik xalqingiz orasida tarqalmaydiki, Alloh ularni sinovlarga o'ratmasin. Men Alloh va Uning Elchisiga itoat qilguncha menga itoat qiling; agar men Alloh va Uning Elchisiga осий bo'lsam, unda menga itoat qilish sizga vojib emas. Namozga turinglar, Alloh sizlarga rahm qilsin!" Musa ibn Uqba o'zining "Mag'óziy" kitobida rivoyat qiladi, al-Hokim esa uni sahih deb hukm qilgan: Abdurrahmon ibn Avf aytdi: Abu Bakr xutba (nutq) so'zladi va dedi: "Alloh haqqi, men hukmronlik lavozimiga hatto bir kecha-kunduz ham intilmaganman, uni xohlamaganman va buni Allohdan yashirin ham, oshkora ham so'ramaganman. Lekin men fitnadan qo'rqdim. Hukmronlikda menga tinchlik bo'lmaydi. Men o'zimda kuch-qudrat yo'q bo'lgan ulkan ishga mas'ul etildim, Allohning quvvatlashidan boshqa iloj yo'q." Ali va az-Zubayr dedilar: "Biz faqat maslahatga kech qolganimiz uchun g'azablanmadik, biz Abu Bakrni bu ishga eng loyiq shaxs deb bilamiz. U G'or sohibi edi. Biz uning sharafini va fazilatini bilamiz. Alloh Elchisi ﷺ hayot ekanlarida unga odamlarga namoz o'qitishni buyurgan edilar." Ibn Sa'd rivoyat qiladi, Ibrohim at-Tamimiy aytdi: Alloh Elchisi ﷺ vafot etganlarida, Umar Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrohning oldiga kelib dedi: "Qo'lingizni cho'zing, sizga bay'at qilay."

No people forsake jihad in the way of Allah but that Allah delivers u humiliating blow to them. Nor does indecency ever spread among U people but that Allah envelops them in trials. Obey me as long hs 1 obey Allah and His Messenger, and if I disobey Allah and His Messenger then you do not owe me obedience. Stand up for your prayer, may Allah have mercy upon you.’ Musa ibn cUqbah narrated, in his Maghazi, and al-Hakim, who declared it sahih, that cAbd ar-Rahman ibn cAwf said: Abu Bakr gave an address (khutbah) and said, ‘By Allah, I was never eager for a position of command for even as long as a day or a night, and I never desired it, and I have never asked Allah for it in secret nor openly. However, I was afraid of dissension. I will have no rest in command. I have been invested with a mighty matter for which I have not the energy, nor the power, except it be by Allah’s strengthening.’ cAli and az-Zubayr said, ‘We were not angry except that we were too late for the counsel, and we see Abu Bakr as the person most fitted for it. He was the Companion of the Cave. We know his honour and his excellence. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered him to lead the people in prayer while he was yet alive.’ Ibn Sacd narrated that Ibrahim at-Tamimi said: When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace, died, cUmar came to Abu cUbaydah ibn al-Jarrah and said, ‘Stretch out your hand so that I can pledge allegiance to you.

Siz Payg'ambarimiz ﷺ ning tilidagi shu ummatning ishonchli kishisisiz" degan edilar. Shunda Abu Ubayda Umarga dedi: "Men sizni Islomni qabul qilganimdan beri aql jihatidan hech qachon zaif deb o'ylamagan edim. Ustingizda as-Siddiq, "ikkovlonning ikkinchisi" bo'lgan kishi bor ekan, siz menga bay'at qilasizmi?" Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr rivoyat qiladi: Abu Bakr Umarga dedi: "Bay'at qilishim uchun qo'lingizni cho'zing." Umar unga dedi: "Siz mendan afzalsiz." Abu Bakr unga dedi: "Siz mendan kuchliroqsiz." U shuni takrorladi, lekin Umar dedi: "Mening kuchim sizning fazilatingiz bilan birga sizniki bo'lsin." Shunday qilib u Abu Bakrga bay'at qildi.

You are the trusted one of this ummah according to the tongue of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.’ So Abu "Ubaydah said to cUmar, ‘I never thought you weak in your mind before this, since I became a Muslim. Would you pledge allegiance to me when among you there is as-Siddiq, the “second of the two”?’ Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr said that Abu Bakr said to cUmar, ‘Stretch out your hand so that I can pledge allegiance to you.’ cUmar said to him, You are better than me.’ Abu Bakr said to him, ‘You are stronger than me,’ and he repeated it, but cUmar said, ‘My strength shall be for you along with your merit,’ and he swore allegiance to him.

Ahmad rivoyat qilgan: Humayd ibn Abdurrahmon ibn Avf aytdi: Allohning Elchisi ﷺ vafot etganlarida, Abu Bakr Madinaning ba'zi kishilari huzurida edi. U kelib, yuzlarini ochdi va ularni o'pdi va dedi: "Otam va onam sizga fido bo'lsin, hayotda ham, o'limda ham qanchalik go'zalsiz. Muhammad ﷺ vafot etdi, Ka'baning Rabbiga qasamki!" Keyin u hadisning qolgan qismini zikr qildi, so'ngra dedi:

Ahmad narrated that Humayd ibn cAbd ar-Rahman ibn cAwf said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died while Abu Bakr was with some of the people of Madinah, so he came and uncovered his face and kissed him and said, ‘May my father and mother be your ransom, how sweet you are in life and death. Muhammad has died, by the Lord of the Kacbah!’ and he mentioned the rest of the hadith and then he said:

Abu Bakr va Umar shoshilib ketishdi, to ular oldiga kelguncha.

Abu Bakr and cUmar went off in haste until they came to them.

Shunda Abu Bakr gapirdi va Allohning Ansor haqida nozil qilgan hech narsani, Rasulullohning ﷺ ular haqida aytgan hech narsani qoldirmadi, balki hammasini zikr qildi. Va u dedi: "Bilasizmi, Rasulullohning ﷺ shunday deganlarini: «Agar odamlar bir vodiyda yursa, Ansor esa boshqa vodiyda yursa, men Ansor vodiysida yurgan bo‘lardim»? Sa'd, bilasizmi, siz o‘tirgan paytingizda Rasulullohning ﷺ shunday deganlarini: «Quraysh bu ishning rahbarlari, odamlarning eng yaxshisi ularning eng yaxshisiga ergashadi, eng yomoni esa ularning eng yomoniga ergashadi»?" Shunda Sa'd unga dedi: "Siz rost aytdingiz. Biz vazirlarmiz, siz esa amirlarsiz." Ibn Asokir rivoyat qilishicha, Abu Said al-Xudriy aytdi: Abu Bakr bay'at qilinganda, odamlarda biroz xafalik ko‘rdi va dedi: "Nima sizni to‘xtatib turibdi? Bu amrga eng haqli kishi men emasmanmi? Islomni qabul qilgan birinchi kishi men emasmanmi?"

Then Abu Bakr spoke and he didn’t leave out anything that Allah had revealed about the Ansar nor anything that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had mentioned about them but that he mentioned it, and he said, ‘You know that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “If mankind were to travel in one valley and the Ansar were to travel in another valley, I would travel in the valley of th & Ansar” You know, Sacd, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said while you were seated, “Quraysh are the authorities of this matter, and the best of mankind will follow the best of them and the worst of them will follow the worst of them.’” So Sacd said to him, ‘You have told the truth. We are the deputies and you are the commanders.’ Ibn cAsakir narrated that Abu Sacid al-Khudri said: When Abu Bakr was pledged allegiance, he saw some dejection among people and so he said, ‘What is holding you back? Am I not the one with the most right to this command? Am I not the first to accept Islam?

“Men emasmanmi? Men emasmanmi?” — deb u turli fazilatlarni zikr qildi.

Am I not ...? Am I not ...?’ and he mentioned various qualities.

Ahmad rivoyat qilishicha, ar-Rafi' at-Ta'iy aytgan: Abu Bakr menga o'zining bay'at berilishi haqida va Ansorlarning aytgan so'zlari, hamda Umar aytgan so'zlar haqida gapirib berdi va dedi: "Shunday qilib, ular menga bay'at berishdi va men ularning bay'atini qabul qildim. Fitna bo'lib, undan keyin (Islamdan) qaytish yuz berishidan qo'rqdim." Ibn Ishoq va Ibn Obid o'zining "Mag'oziy" kitobida uning (ar-Rafi'ning) rivoyatiga ko'ra, u Abu Bakrga shunday degan: "Nima sababdan siz xalqning boshqaruvini o'z zimmangizga oldingiz, holbuki menga hatto ikki kishi ustidan amir bo'lishni man qildingiz?" U dedi: "Men bundan qochishning biror yo'lini topa olmadim. Muhammadning ummatida parokandalik bo'lishidan qo'rqdim, Alloh unga salavot va salom yo'llasin." Ahmad rivoyat qilishicha, Qays ibn Abu Hozim aytgan: "Men Allohning Elchisi vafotidan bir oy keyin Abu Bakr as-Siddiq bilan o'tirdim" — va u hikoyani zikr qildi. "So'ngra odamlar orasida: "Namoz chaqirildi", degan ovoz ko'tarildi. Odamlar to'planishdi va u minbarga chiqdi va dedi: "Menga boshqa birov bu hokimiyatni mendan keyin olib borishini istardim. Agar siz meni Payg'ambaringizning sunnati bo'yicha hisobga tortsangiz, men unga qodir emasman. U shaytondan himoyalangan edi va unga osmondan vahiy nozil bo'lardi." Ibn Sa'd rivoyat qilishicha, al-Hasan al-Basriy aytgan: Abu Bakrga bay'at berilganda u odamlarga murojaat qilib turdi va dedi: "Endi men bu hokimiyatga mas'ul etib tayinlandim va uni yoqtirmayman."

Ahmad narrated that ar-Rafic at-Ta’i said: Abu Bakr told me about his pledge of allegiance and what the Ansar had said, and what cUmar had said, and he said, ‘So they pledged allegiance to me and I accepted it from them. I was afraid that there would be dissension and, after it, reneging (from Islam).’ Ibn Ishaq and Ibn cAbid, in his Maghazi, from him that he (ar-Rafic) said to Abu Bakr, ‘What made you take upon yourself the governance of the people and you forbade me taking command of (even) two people?’ He said, ‘I could not find any escape from that. I was afraid of division in the ummah of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.’ Ahmad narrated that Qais ibn Abi Hazim said, ‘I sat with Abu Bakr as-Siddiq a month after the death of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,’ and he mentioned his story. ‘Then the cry went up among people, “The prayer is summoned.” People gathered and he ascended the minbar then said, “I would love that someone other than me would take care of this authority for me. If you take me to task by the Sunnah of your Prophet I am not up to it. He was protected from the shaytan, and revelation used to descend upon him from heaven.’” Ibn Sacd narrated that al-Hasan al-Basri said: When Abu Bakr was pledged allegiance he stood addressing the people and said, ‘Now, I have been put in charge of this authority and I dislike it.

Allohga qasamki, sizlardan biringiz buni o‘z zimmasiga olsa edi, deb istardim. Agar meni Nabiy ﷺ ning ishlariga o‘xshash ish qilishda ayblasangiz, men bunga qodir emasman. Nabiy ﷺ bir qul edi, Alloh uni vahiy bilan sharaflagan va uni (xatodan) shu orqali himoya qilgan. Men faqat odamman. Men sizlardan biridan ham yaxshi emasman. Menga e’tibor bering: agar meni to‘g‘ri yo‘lda ko‘rsangiz, ortimdan ergashing, agar og‘ib ketayotganimni ko‘rsangiz, meni to‘g‘rilab qo‘ying.

By Allah, I would love that one of you would take care of it for me. If you charge me with acting among you with the like of the action of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, I cannot undertake that. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was a slave whom Allah honoured with revelation and protected him by it (from error). I am only human. I am no better than any of you. Take care of me, and if you see me going straight then follow me and if you see me deviating then set me straight.

Bilginki, menda bir shayton bor, u menga yopishib oladi; shuning uchun meni g'azablanayotganimni ko'rsangiz, mendan uzoqroq turinglar, toki sochlaringizda va terilaringizda izlar va dog'lar qoldirmayman.» Ibn Sa'd rivoyat qildi, al-Xatiyb esa Molik rivoyatida, 'Urwa aytdi: Abu Bakr (roziyallohu anhu) xalifa etib tayinlanganda, xalqqa xutba bilan murojaat qildi. U Allohni hamd bilan ulug'ladi va dedi: «Endi, men sizlarga hukmdor etib tayinlandim, lekin men sizlarning eng yaxshingiz emasman.

Know that I have a shaytan who seizes upon me; when you see me becoming angry then avoid me, so that I do not leave traces and marks on your hairs and your-skins.’ Ibn Sacd narrated, and al-Khateeb, in the narration of Malik, that cUrwah said: When Abu Bakr was appointed, he addressed people with a khutbah. He praised Allah and said, ‘Now, I have been appointed in command over you and I am not the best of you.

Qur’on nozil bo‘lgan bo‘lsa ham, Payg‘ambar ﷺ turli sunnatlarni joriy qilib, bizga o‘rgatdilar, biz esa o‘rgandik. Shunday ekan, ey odamlar, bilingizki, o‘tkir aql egasining eng yaxshisi – eng ko‘p taqvo (Allohdan qo‘rqish) bilan itoat etuvchisidir; ojizlikning eng ojizi esa – yomonlikdir; sizlarning eng kuchlisi, men uchun, uning haqini olib bermagunimcha, zaif bo‘lganidir; sizlarning eng zaifi esa, men uchun, undan berilishi lozim bo‘lgan haqni olmagunimcha, kuchli bo‘lganidir. Ey odamlar, men faqat ergashuvchiman, bid’at chiqaruvchi emasman. Agar men yaxshi ish qilsam, menga yordam bering, agar adashsam, meni to‘g‘rilang. Men bu so‘zlarimni aytaman va o‘zim uchun hamda sizlar uchun Allohdan mag‘firat so‘rayman. Molik dedi: «Hech kim hech qachon imom (ya’ni amir) bo‘la olmaydi

However, the Qur’an was revealed, the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, laid down as customary different sunnahs and we were taught, so we learnt. So, know, people, that the most acute of sharp intellect is (he who has) the most fearful obedience (,tuqa); that the most incapable (form) of incapacity is wickedness; that the strongest of you, as far as I am concerned, is the weak one until I take his right for him; and that the weakest of you, as far as I am concerned, is the strong one until I take from him what he is due (to give). People, I am only a follower, I am not an innovator, so that if I do well, help me and if I deviate then put me straight. I say these words of mine and I seek the forgiveness of Allah for me and for you.’ Malik said, ‘No-one will ever be an imam (i.e. amir)

“...shu shart bilan bo‘lmasa.” Al-Hokim o‘zining “Mustadrak” kitobida Abu Hurayra, Alloh undan rozi bo‘lsin, rivoyat qilgan: Allohning Elchisi ﷺ vafot etganlarida Makka zilzilaga uchradi. Abu Quhofa buni eshitib: “Bu nima?” dedi. Unga: “Allohning Elchisi ﷺ vafot etdilar”, deyishdi. U: “Juda katta ish. Ulardan keyin amirlikni kim o‘z zimmasiga oldi?” dedi. Ular: “Sizning o‘g‘lingiz”, dedilar. U: “Banu Abd Manof va Banu al-Mug‘ira bunga rozimi?” dedi. Ular: “Ha”, dedilar. U shunday dedi: “Ko‘targanini hech kim tushira olmaydi, tushirganini hech kim ko‘tara olmaydi.” Al-Voqidiy turli yo‘llar bilan rivoyat qilganki, Oisha, Ibn Umar, Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyab va boshqalar aytadilar: Allohning Elchisi ﷺ vafot etgan kuni, ya’ni Hijratning o‘n birinchi yilida Rabi‘ al-Avvalning o‘n ikkinchi kechasi, dushanba kuni Abu Bakrga bay‘at qilindi.

unless on this condition.’ Al-Hakim narrated in his Mustadrak that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died, Makkah was shaken with an earthquake and Abu Quhafah heard that and said, ‘What is this?’ They said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, has died.’ He said, ‘A momentous thing. Who has undertaken the command after him?’ They said, ‘Your son.’ He said, ‘Are Banu cAbd Manaf and Banu al-Mughirah contented with that?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘No-one may put down what they raise up and no-one may raise up what they put down.’ Al-Waqidi narrated in a variety of ways that cA’ishah, Ibn cUmar, Sacid ibn al-Musayyab and others relate that Abu Bakr was pledged allegiance on the day that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died, on Monday the 12th night of Rabic al-Awwal in the eleventh year of the Hijrah.

At-Tabaroniy al-Avsatda Ibn Umar rivoyat qilgan: Abu Bakr Allohning Elchisi ﷺ minbarda o‘tirgan joyga hech qachon o‘tirmadi, to Allohga yetguncha. Umar Abu Bakr o‘tirgan joyga to Allohga yetguncha o‘tirmadi, Usmon ham Umarning joyiga to Allohga yetguncha o‘tirmadi.

At-Tabarani narrated in al-Awsat that Ibn cUmar said: Abu Bakr never sat on that place upon which the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sat upon the minbar until he met Allah. cUmar did not sit on the place Abu Bakr sat until he met Allah and cUthman did not sit in cUmar’s place until he met Allah.
