حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ

رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ اسْتَخْلَفْتُ أَحَدًا عَنْ غَيْرِ مَشُورَةٍ لَاسْتَخْلَفْتُ ابْنَ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “If I were to appoint anyone to a position of authority without consulting (the believers), I would have appointed Ibn Umm Abd (Abdullah ibn Masood).”.
