Hadith #36808
قال: "قيل لعمر (رع):" ألن ترشح الخليفة (التالي )؟ "قال: إذا رشحت الخليفة، فإن من هو أفضل مني قد رشح الخليفة، أي أبو بكر (رع). وإذا لم يتم ترشيحه، فإنه لم يرشح الخليفة الذي كان الأفضل. أي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. وأشاد به الناس على ذلك. ثم قال: البعض متلهف لذلك والبعض خائف. وأتمنى لو أستطيع التخلص منه
He said, ``Umar (RA) was told, "Won't you nominate (your next) Caliph?" He said: If I nominate the caliph, then the one who is better than me has nominated the caliph, that is, Abu Bakr (RA). And if not nominated, then mine He did not nominate the Caliph who was the best. That is, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). People praised him for it. Then he said, Some are eager about it and some are afraid. And I wish I could get rid of it
