Musnad Ahmad 1055 (Book 5, Hadith 474) #34700
Succession of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the succession of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and how Abu Bakr and Umar followed in his footsteps.

Abdul-Malik bin Sal’ told us: from 'Abd Khair. I heard him say: 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) stood on the minbar and mentioned the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died and Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه) was appointed as his successor, and he did what he had done and followed in his footsteps, and persisted in doing so until Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, took his soul in death. Then 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) was appointed as his successor and he did what they had done and followed in their footsteps, and persisted in doing so until Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, took his soul in death.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي سُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ الْفَزَارِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ سَلْعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَامَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَعَمِلَ بِعَمَلِهِ وَسَارَ بِسِيرَتِهِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَعَمِلَ بِعَمَلِهِمَا وَسَارَ بِسِيرَتِهِمَا حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the succession of the Prophet Muhammad after his death. It mentions that Abu Bakr was appointed as a successor to him after his death, who then followed in all of the footsteps that were left by him. After this it also mentions that Umar was appointed as a successor to Abu Bakr who also followed in all their footsteps until Allah took their souls away. This hadith teaches us to follow our leaders with respect and loyalty just like how these two successors did for their predecessors. It also teaches us to be humble even when we are given power or authority over others because they too will have successors one day who will take over them just like how it happened with these two successors after them.
