The Caliph who appointed the shūrā Council to produce a successor after his death was ‘Umar b. Khattāb. During his reign as the second caliph of the Islamic empire, ‘Umar b. Khattāb established a shūrā council consisting of six prominent companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to assist him in making important decisions. When ‘Umar was on his deathbed, he consulted with the members of the shūrā council and instructed them to choose his successor from amongst themselves, in order to ensure a smooth transition of power and to prevent any potential conflict or division among the Muslims. After much deliberation and consultation, the shūrā council elected ‘Uthmān b. ‘Affān as the third caliph of the Islamic empire.
