Hadith #44754
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَبِيَدِهِ عَسِيبُ نَخْلٍ وَهُوَ يُجْلِسُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُ اسْمَعُوا لِقَوْلِ خَلِيفَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَاءَ مَوْلًى لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ شَدِيدٌ بِصَحِيفَةٍ فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ يَقُولُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا لِمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَلَوْتُكُمْ قَالَ قَيْسٌ فَرَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ.
Waki` narrated to us, on the authority of Ibn Abi Khaled, on the authority of Qays, who said: I saw Omar, may God be pleased with him, with a stalk of palm trees in his hand, and he was making people sit, saying, “Listen.” According to the statement of the successor of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, a servant of Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, called Shadid, came with a newspaper. So he read it to the people and said: Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, says: Listen and obey what is in this document, for by God I have not given you anything. Qays said. After that, I saw Omar, may God be pleased with him, on the pulpit.
