The first thing to keep in mind is that the Prophet-hood not Kingship in which the son succeeds the father. The Prophets have no inheritance. The holy Prophet (SAW) used to lead the Prayers till he fell ill and was not able to lead the Muslims in prayer. He deputed this duty to his closest friend, father-in-law, and the first adult Muslim whom Almighty Allah describes as his friend in the Cave of Thor - Hazrat Abu Bakr (RAU). It may have been an indication that he was the most suitable person after him to lead the Muslims. However, he didn't mention any clear name of his Caliph in this regards. It left it to his Companions whom he considered to be equal to the task.
The Ansaar (the Helpers-native people of Madina Munawra) were discussing the matter of caliphate in Saqifa Bani Sa'adia when Hazra Abu Bakr RAU, Hazrat Omar RAU and Hazra Abu Obaida RAU reached there and after a heated discussion Hazrat Abu Bakr (RAU) was chosen the First Rightful Caliph.
On his death bed, Hazrat Abu Bakr (RAU) suggested the name of Hazrat Omar (RAU) to succeed him. The Companions rau agreed to his proposal and Hazrat Omar (RAU) became the second Rightful Caliph.
When Hazrat Omar (RAU) was fatally wounded as a result of a conspiracy, he suggested the names of six holy Companions (RAU) to select a Caliph amongst them. Some of the Companions suggested to him that he should nominate his son Hazrat Abdullah bin Omar as Caliph. He didn't agree to this proposal. The six companions nominated by him were:
Hazrat Usman ibni Affan,
Hazrat Ali ibni Abu Talib, Hazrat Zubair bin Awam,
Hazrat Talhah bin Obaid Ullah,
Hazrat Abdul Rahman bin Aof, and
Hazrat Sa'ad bin Abi Waqas rau all of them.
After some sittings and discussions, Hazrat Usman bin Affan rau was chosen the third Rightful Caliph.
During the last days of Hazrat Usman rau rebels sieged his house and killed him. Then they forced Hazrat Ali rau to become the fourth Rightful Caliph. Yet, his Caliphate was never completely established till he was killed by a Khawaji. After his death His elder son Hazrat Hassan rau became the caliph but be withdrew his name, made peace with Hazrat Muawiya rau.
