Shahih Bukhari - 1305

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Jarir bin 'Abdul Hamid] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hushain bin 'Abdurrahman] dari ['Amru bin Maimun Al Audiy] berkata,: "Aku melihat ['Umar bin Al Khaththab] radliallahu 'anhu berkata,: "Wahai 'Abdullah bin Umar temuilah Ummul Mu'minin 'Aisyah radliallahu 'anha lalu sampaikan bahwa 'Umar bin Al Khaththab menyampaikan salam kepadamu, kemudian mintalah agar aku dikubur bersama kedua temanku. 'Aisyah berkata; "Aku dulu menginginkan tempat itu untukku, namun sekarang aku lebih mengutamakannya daripada diriku. Ketika ia pulang, Umar berkata, kepadanya: "Jawaban apa yang kamu bawa?". Ia menjawab; "Engkau telah mendapat izin wahai Amirul Mu'minin, lalu ia berkata,: "Tidak ada sesuatu yang lebih aku cintai daripada tempat berbaring itu, dan jika aku sudah meninggal, bawalah aku kepadanya lalu sampaikan salam dan katakan bahwa 'Umar bin Al Khaththab telah meminta izin, dan jika diizinkan maka kuburkanlah aku disana, dan jika tidak, maka kuburlah aku dipekuburan kaum muslimin. Sebab aku tidak mengetahui seseorang yang lebih berhak pada perkara ini daripada mereka, orang-orang yang ketika beliau meninggal maka Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam telah meridhai mereka, maka barangsiapa yang menggantikan aku setelahku dialah khalifah, wajib dengar dan taatlah padanya. Lalu ia menyebut nama 'Utsman, 'Ali, Thalhah, Az Zubair, 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf, Saad bin Abi Waqqas. Kemudian seorang pemuda Anshar datang kepadanya, ia berkata,: "Wahai Amirul Mu'minin, berilah kabar gembira yang diberikan Allah kepadamu karena masuk Islam pertama kali seperti yang telah engkau ketahui, lalu engkau diangkat menjadi khalifah dan setelah ini semua engkau akan mati syahid?". Da menjawab: "Barangkali cukuplah yang engkau katakan itu wahai anak saudaraku, aku berwasiat kebaikan kepada khalifah setelahku terhadap orang-orang yang pertama-tama berhijrah, agar ia mengerti hak-hak mereka dan menjaga kehormatan mereka, dan aku berwasiat kebaikan kepadanya terhadap orang-orang Anshar, yang mereka telah menempati Madinah dan beriman kepada Allah Ta'ala, agar ia terima orang-orang yang baik diantara mereka dan memaafkan orang-orang yang berbuat buruk diantara mereka, dan aku berwasiat kepadanya akan tanggungan Allah dan RasulNya Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam agar ia menepati perjanjian dengannya, dan ia berperang dibelakangnya, serta tidak membebani mereka dengan apa yang tidak mereka mampu". (HR. Bukhari: 1305)

Narrated ʿAmr bin Maimun Al-Audi: I saw ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab (when he was stabbed) saying, "O ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar! Go to the mother of the believers ʿAisha and say, ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab sends his greetings to you,' and request her to allow me to be buried with my companions." (So, Ibn ʿUmar conveyed the message to ʿAisha.) She said, "I had the idea of having this place for myself but today I prefer him (ʿUmar) to myself (and allow him to be buried there)." When ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar returned, ʿUmar asked him, "What (news) do you have?" He replied, "O chief of the believers! She has allowed you (to be buried there)." On that ʿUmar said, "Nothing was more important to me than to be buried in that (sacred) place. So, when I expire, carry me there and pay my greetings to her (ʿAisha ) and say, ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab asks permission; and if she gives permission, then bury me (there) and if she does not, then take me to the grave-yard of the Muslims. I do not think any person has more right for the caliphate than those with whom Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was always pleased till his death. And whoever is chosen by the people after me will be the caliph, and you people must listen to him and obey him," and then he mentioned the name of ʿUthman, ʿAli, Talha, Az-Zubair, ʿAbdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and Saʿd bin Abi Waqqas. By this time a young man from Ansar came and said, "O chief of the believers! Be happy with Allah's glad tidings. The grade which you have in Islam is known to you, then you became the caliph and you ruled with justice and then you have been awarded martyrdom after all this." ʿUmar replied, "O son of my brother! Would that all that privileges will counterbalance (my short comings), so that I neither lose nor gain anything. I recommend my successor to be good to the early emigrants and realize their rights and to protect their honor and sacred things. And I also recommend him to be good to the Ansar who before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith. He should accept the good of the righteous among them and should excuse their wrongdoers. I recommend him to abide by the rules and regulations concerning the Dhimmis (protectees) of Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ), to fulfill their contracts completely and fight for them and not to tax (overburden) them beyond their capabilities."
