Hadith 36:539

Ibn Numayr narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Sa'id, from al-Qasim, that when Umar was stabbed, the people came praising him and supplicating for him. Umar (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Are you praising me because of the leadership? I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), and he passed away while he was pleased with me. I accompanied Abu Bakr, and I listened and obeyed. Then Abu Bakr passed away while I was listening and obeying. And I have not reached this morning fearing for myself except for this leadership of yours."

حدثنا بن نمير عن يحيى بن سعيد عن القاسم أن عمر حيث طعن جاء الناس يثنون عليه ويدعون له فقال عمر رحمه الله أبالإمارة تزكونني لقد صحبت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقبض وهو عني راض وصحبت أبا بكر فسمعت وأطعت فتوفي أبو بكر وأنا سامع مطيع وما أصبحت أخاف على نفسي إلا إمارتكم هذه
