Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ
عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ الْأَنْصَارُ مِنَّا أَمِيرٌ وَمِنْكُمْ أَمِيرٌ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُمْ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ بِالنَّاسِ فَأَيُّكُمْ تَطِيبُ نَفْسُهُ أَنْ يَتَقَدَّمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقَالُوا نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ نَتَقَدَّمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Husayn ibn 'Ali, from Za'ida, from 'Asim, from Zirr — that 'Abdullah said: 'When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, the Ansar said: From us an amir and from you an amir. 'Umar came to them and said: O Ansar, do you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer? So which of you would be comfortable to step ahead of Abu Bakr? They said: We seek refuge in Allah from stepping ahead of Abu Bakr.'
