٣٦٧٣ - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَنْبَغِي لِقَوْمٍ فِيهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ» أَنْ يَؤُمَّهُمْ غَيْرُهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ.
