Jāmiʿ ibn Abī Rāshid

Muḥammad ibn Qudāma related to us. He said: Muḥammad ibn Ḥumayd al-Rāzī related to us. He said: ʿAlī ibn Mujāhid related to us. He said: Abū Ḥanīfa related to us, from Jāmiʿ ibn Abī Rāshid, from Ziyād ibn Ḥudayr al-Asadī, who said: Among the instructions left by ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, God be pleased with him—he had ordered Ṣuhayb to gather the Muslims for him and to have most of those [who] entered upon him be the Helpers; he did so, and they entered upon him—he said: “I have entrusted your affair to six of the Emigrants. The Prophet, peace be upon him, died while pleased with them.” He named them. “I have given them a period of three days to choose for themselves and for the community. If the people agree upon one of them and one refuses to pledge allegiance, stand with the four. If three choose one and a man chooses his companion, stand with the three. If two men choose a man and three choose one of their own, stand with the three among whom is ʿAbd al-Raḥmān.”
