Muslims were not believing that prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) died and got disturbed and confused until the companion Abou Bakr recited the Quran verse:

""Muhammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all; but Allah will reward the grateful." (3:144)

Then they got calmed down. Omar Ibn Alhkattab raised the hand of Abou Bakr and announced that he nominate him as the first Caliph and ruler after prophet Muhammad death. Abou Bakr gained the support of the wide majority and became the first Caliph after the prophet.
