Hadith 32

and this command is not correct except for someone strong without arrogance, a friend without weakness, generous without extravagance’. I said, ‘So, where are you from Usman? ! ’ He said, ‘If he is in charge, he would carry the clan of Abu mueet upon necks of the people, and if he does so, they would kill him’’. [29]
And it is reported by Ahmad Bin A’sam in his history – ‘His (Umar’s) words regarding the six was before he had been stabbed by Abu Lulu, by two days or three, and that is when Abu Lulu had threatened him, and his mentioned has preceded. He ascended the pulpit the next morning, and he mentioned a dream he had seen during his night. Then he said, ‘I have no doubt regarding the nearness of my death, so when that happens, they choose a man from the six, those Rasool-Allah-saww had been pleased with when he-saww passed away’ – and he mentioned them by their names. Then he descended and grabbed a hand of Abdullah Bin Al-Abbas and went out from the Masjid.

He (the historian) said, ‘And Talha did not happen to be in Al Medina on that day. Umar said, ‘Await Talha for thee days, if he comes or else choose a man from the five’. And Muhammad Bin Jareer Al-Tabari said, ‘Talha was not mentioned in this gathering and he did not happen to be in Al-Medina’. Then he said to them, ‘Go to the chamber of Ayesha and consult each other in it’, and he placed down his head and the blood had drained him. They entered the room and consulted until their voices were raised. Abdullah Bin Umar said, ‘The commander of the faithful has not died yet, so regarding what is this clamour? ! ’
And Umar woke up and heard the voices. He said, ‘Turn away from it. So, when I am dead, then consult each other for three days, and let Suheyb pray Salat with the people, and the fourth day from my death
