حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ هَدِيَّةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بِمَكَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْبَجَلِيُّ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّعَنْ وَهْبٍ السُّوَائِيِّ قَالَ

خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ: مَنْ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا ؟ فَقُلْتُ: أَنْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَ: لَا، خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ثُمَّ عُمَرُ، وَمَا نُبْعِدُ أَنَّ السَّكِينَةَ تَنْطِقُ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ

✧ 'Ali addressed us and said: 'Who is the best of this ummah after its Prophet?' I said: 'You, O Commander of the Faithful.' He said: 'No, the best of this ummah after its Prophet is Abu Bakr, then 'Umar, and it is not far-fetched that tranquility speaks upon the tongue of 'Umar.'
