English translation
7269. Narrated Anas bin Mālik that he heard 'Umar رضي الله عنه speaking while standing on the pulpit of the Prophet ﷺ in the morning (following the death of the Prophet ﷺ), when the people had given the Bai'a (pledge) to Abū Bakr. He said the Tashah-hud before Abū Bakr, and added, "Ammā Ba'du (then after), Allāh has chosen for His Messenger ﷺ what is with Him (Paradise) rather than what is with you (the world). This is that Book (the Qur'ān) with which Allāh guided your Messenger, so stick to it, for then you will be guided on the Right Path (i.e., Islām) as Allāh guided His Messenger ﷺ with it."
