Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were present with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He (peace be upon him) said: I think that my presence among you will remain for only a short time now, so after me, follow these people. The Prophet (peace be upon him) pointed towards Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: And act upon the guidance of Ammar, and accept whatever Abdullah bin Mas'ud tells you.
