Hadith text
Narrated Anas bin Malik:That he heard `Umar's second speech he delivered when he sat on the pulpit on the day following the death of the Prophet (ﷺ) `Umar recited the Tashahhud while Abu Bakr was silent. `Umar said, "I wish that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had outlived all of us, i.e., had been the last (to die). But if Muhammad is dead, Allah nevertheless has kept the light amongst you from which you can receive the same guidance as Allah guided Muhammad with that. And Abu Bakr is the companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) He is the second of the two in the cave. He is the most entitled person among the Muslims to manage your affairs. Therefore get up and swear allegiance to him." Some people had already taken the oath of allegiance to him in the shed of Bani Sa`ida but the oath of allegiance taken by the public was taken at the pulpit. I heard `Umar saying to Abu Bakr on that day. "Please ascend the pulpit," and kept on urging him till he ascended the pulpit whereupon, all the people swore allegiance to him
Anas bin Malik bataate hain ke unhone Umar ki doosri taqreer suni jo unhone mimbar par baithkar di, agle din jab Nabi (SAW) ka intekaal hua. Umar ne Tashahhud padha jabke Abu Bakr khaamosh the. Umar ne kaha, 'Mujhe kaash Allah ke Rasool (SAW) hum sabse zyaada jeete, yaani sabse aakhri mein guzarte. Magar agar Muhammad guzar gaye hain, to Allah ne phir bhi tumhaare beech roshni chhod di hai jisse tum wahi hidaayat pa sakte ho jaisi Allah ne Muhammad ko di thi. Aur Abu Bakr Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke saathi hain. Wo do logon mein se doosre hain jo gufaa mein the. Wo Musalmaanon mein sabse zyaada haqdaar hain tumhaare maamlon ko sambhaalne ka. Isliye utho aur unhein baiyat do.' Kuch logon ne pehle hi unhein Banu Sa'da ke shed (chappar) mein baiyat de di thi magar aam logon ki baiyat mimbar par li gayi. Maine Umar ko us din Abu Bakr se ye kehte suna, 'Barah-e-meharbaani mimbar par chadhiye,' aur wo unhein taakeed karte rahe yahaan tak ke wo mimbar par chadhe, isper sab logon ne unhein baiyat di.
