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.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : قِيلَ لِعُمَرَ : أَلَا تَسْتَخْلِفُ ، قَالَ : إِنْ أَسْتَخْلِفْ ، فَقَدِ اسْتَخْلَفَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ، مِنِّي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَإِنْ أَتْرُكْ ، فَقَدْ تَرَكَ مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي ، رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : رَاغِبٌ رَاهِبٌ ، وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي نَجَوْتُ مِنْهَا كَفَافًا لَا لِي وَلَا عَلَيَّ لَا أَتَحَمَّلُهَا حَيًّا وَلَا مَيِّتًا .

ہم سے محمد بن یوسف فریابی نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو سفیان ثوری نے خبر دی، انہیں ہشام بن عروہ نے، انہیں ان کے والد نے اور ان سے عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما نے بیان کیا کہ   عمر رضی اللہ عنہ جب زخمی ہوئے تو ان سے کہا گیا کہ آپ اپنا خلیفہ کسی کو کیوں نہیں منتخب کر دیتے، آپ نے فرمایا کہ اگر کسی کو خلیفہ منتخب کرتا ہوں ( تو اس کی بھی مثال ہے کہ ) اس شخص نے اپنا خلیفہ منتخب کیا تھا جو مجھ سے بہتر تھے یعنی ابوبکر رضی اللہ عنہ اور اگر میں اسے مسلمانوں کی رائے پر چھوڑتا ہوں تو ( اس کی بھی مثال موجود ہے کہ ) اس بزرگ نے ( خلیفہ کا انتخاب مسلمانوں کے لیے ) چھوڑ دیا تھا جو مجھ سے بہتر تھے یعنی رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ۔ پھر لوگوں نے آپ کی تعریف کی، پھر انہوں نے کہا کہ کوئی تو دل سے میری تعریف کرتا ہے کوئی ڈر کر۔ اب میں تو یہی غنیمت سمجھتا ہوں کہ خلافت کی ذمہ داریوں میں اللہ کے ہاں برابر برابر ہی چھوٹ جاؤں، نہ مجھے کچھ ثواب ملے اور نہ کوئی عذاب میں نے خلافت کا بوجھ اپنی زندگی بھر اٹھایا۔ اب مرنے پر میں اس بار کو نہیں اٹھاؤں گا۔
