Hazrat Salat bin Bahram, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that Hazrat Sayyar Abu al-Hakam, may Allah have mercy on him, said: When the illness of Hazrat Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, intensified, he turned towards the people from the skylight and began to say: O people! I have made a decision, are you pleased with it? Then the people stood up and said: We will not be satisfied except that it is Hazrat Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him. So it was Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him.
