حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَخُو سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ قَالَ:
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ: أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا ؟ قَالَ: فَذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِالثَّانِي ؟ قَالَ: فَذَكَرَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: لَئِنْ شِئْتُ لَأَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِالثَّالِثِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ سَكَتَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ
