«ادعي أبا بكر أباك وأخاك حتى أكتب كتابا فإني أخاف أن يتمنى متمن ويقول قائل: أنا أولى ويأبى الله والمؤمنون إلا أبا بكر» .
(صحيح) … [حم م] عن عائشة)
A’isha reported that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in his (last) illness asked me to “Call Abu Bakr, her father, and her brother too, so that he might write a document, for he feared that someone else might be desirous (of succeeding him) and that some claimant may say:I have better claim to it, whereas Allah and the Faithful do not substantiate the claim of anyone but that of Abu Bakr.”
This hadith was narrated by Ahmad 6/144 and Muslim 2387 from the words of ‘Aisha.
Sheikh al-Albani called the hadith authentic. See Saheeh al-jami ‘as-saghir 247.
