Hadith 36:523

Waki’ narrated to us, from Isma’il, from Qays ibn Abi Hazim, who said: I saw ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, and in his hand was a palm branch, and he was seating the people and saying: "Listen to the words of the Caliph of the Messenger of Allah." He said: Then a freed slave of Abu Bakr, who was called Shadid, came with a scroll and read it to the people. He said: "Abu Bakr says: 'Listen and obey the one who is in this scroll, for by Allah, I have not been negligent toward you.'" Qays said: Then I saw ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab after that upon the pulpit.

حدثنا وكيع عن إسماعيل عن قيس بن أبي حازم قال رأيت عمر بن الخطاب وبيده عسيب نخل وهو يجلس الناس ويقول اسمعوا لقول خليفة رسول الله قال فجاء مولى لأبي بكر يقال له شديد بصحيفة فقرأها على الناس فقال يقول أبو بكر اسمعوا وأطيعوا لمن في هذه الصحيفة فوالله ما ألوتكم قال قيس فرأيت عمر بن الخطاب بعد ذلك على المنبر
