"He gathered the common folk and their followers around him. So, delay that until the people come to the city," he said. "When I arrived in the city, I approached the minbar (pulpit) and heard him saying, 'I have come to know that some people claim that Abu Bakr's caliphate was a sudden event, but Allah has protected it. There is no caliphate except through consultation, and no one should be ordered to kill either of them (referring to Abu Bakr and Umar). And there are people who ask, 'What about stoning? Isn't it only mentioned in the Book of Allah?' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , stoned and we also stoned after him. If they were not to say, 'What is not mentioned in the Book of Allah is not established,' I would establish it as it was revealed.'" Abd Allah bin Muhammad bin Ishaq al-Adrami narrated to me that Ghundar narrated to us that Shu'bah narrated from Sa'd bin Ibrahim that he heard Ubayd Allah bin Abd Allah bin Utbah narrating from Ibn Abbas, from Abd al-Rahman bin Auf, who said, "Umar ibn al-Khattab performed Hajj and intended to address the people. Abd al-Rahman said, 'The common people have gathered, so delay it until they come.'"
