Among these people was Abd al-Rahman bin Auf, who after the death of the Prophet He did not participate in the disputes between companions to gain power and only took the side of the victorious person in the field, namely Sheikhin, During the era of Abu Bakr and especially Umar, he gave advice and fatwas on important government matters, that is why Umar entrusted him with the right to appoint the next caliph in case of a tie in the Shura.
