Hazrat Abu Wa'il (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was writing the will of Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) when he (Abu Bakr) fell unconscious. So Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) quickly wrote the name of Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). When Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) regained consciousness, he asked him: Whose name did you write? He replied: Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). He (Abu Bakr) said: You wrote exactly what I wanted, and I intended to instruct you to write his name. And if you had written your own name, you too were worthy of this position.
