?

The Shaykh :

If there was to have a Prophet after me, it would have been 'Umar

لو كان بعدي نبي لكان عمر

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3686Hasan (Darussalam)

There are two hadiths; this is one of them, and the other is

Had I not been sent, 'Umar would have been sent

لولا لم أبعث لبعث عمر

. One of them is hasan (good) and the other has a weak chain of narration. I believe the first one is the hasan (good) one. The first one is hasan (good).

If there was to have a Prophet after me, it would have been 'Umar

لو كان بعدي نبي لكان عمر

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3686Hasan (Darussalam)

This is a hasan (good) hadith, and the other hadith has a weak chain of narration, but the meaning is the same.

Had I not been sent, 'Umar would have been sent

لو لم أبعث لبعث عمر

Yes.
