3663. Hudhaifah [may Allāh be pleased with him] said: "We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'I do not know how long I will be with you, so stick to the two after me,' and he signaled towards Abū Bakr and 'Umar." (Hasan)
٣٦٦٣ - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأُمَوِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ الْمُرَادِيِّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ هَرِمٍ ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: «كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَا أَدْرِي مَا بَقَائِي فِيكُمْ،» فَاقْتَدُوا بِاللَّذَيْنِ مِنْ بَعْدِي، وَأَشَارَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ.

There is a clear indication in this narration that Abū Bakr and 'Umar will lead the Ummah after the Prophet ﷺ. Their character is spotless, and the people should follow them, and their example will guide others to come after them.
