Hadith #45204
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ اسْتَخْلَفْتُ أَحَدًا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ لَاسْتَخْلَفْتُ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ.
Waki` told us, on the authority of Sufyan, on the authority of Abu Ishaq, on the authority of al-Harith, on the authority of Ali, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: If I had appointed anyone as my successor without consulting him, I would have appointed Ibn Umm Abd as my successor.
