حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي الْغُدَانِيَّ الْأَشَلَّ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جُحَيْفَةَ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلِيٌّ يُسَمِّيهِ وَهْبَ الْخَيْرِ
قَالَ لِي عَلِيٌّ: يَا أَبَا جُحَيْفَةَ، أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَفْضَلِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَرَى أَنَّ أَحَدًا أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: أَفْضَلُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَبَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عُمَرُ، وَبَعْدَهُمَا آخَرُ ثَالِثٌ، وَلَمْ يُسَمِّهِ

يرويه الشعبي واختلف عنه فرواه يوسف بن أسباط عن سفيان الثوري عن إسماعيل بن أبي خالد عن الشعبي عن مسروق عن علي وخالفه عبد الرحمن بن مهدي وغيره ورووه عن الثوري عن إسماعيل عن الشعبي عن علي لم يذكروا بينهما أحدا وكذلك رواه أبو شهاب الحناط وعبيد الله الأشجعي وعبد الله بن إدريس وابن عيينة وداود بن الزبرقان عن إسماعيل عن الشعبي عن علي ورواه هريم بن سفيان عن إسماعيل عن الشعبي عن علي وزاد فيه ألفاظ لم يأت بها غيره وقيل عن هريم عن عبد الرحمن بن إسحاق عن الشعبي عن علي بغير هذا اللفظ وقال آدم بن أبي إياس عن قيس عن إسماعيل بن أبي خالد عن أبي عمرو الشيباني عن علي ورواه بيان بن بشر وأبو إسحاق الشيباني ومجالد عن الشعبي عن علي وخالفهم يحيى بن أيوب البجلي فرواه عن الشعبي عن أبي جحيفة عن علي والصحيح من ذلك قول من أرسله عن الشعبي عن علي
machine translationAl-Shaʿbī narrates it, and there is disagreement about it from him. Yūsuf b. Asbāṭ narrated it from Sufyān al-Thawrī, from Ismāʿīl b. Abī Khālid, from al-Shaʿbī, from Masrūq, from ʿAlī. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Mahdī and others contradicted him and narrated it from al-Thawrī, from Ismāʿīl, from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlī, without mentioning anyone between them. Likewise Abū Shihāb al-Ḥannāṭ, ʿUbaydullāh al-Ashjaʿī, ʿAbdullāh b. Idrīs, Ibn ʿUyaynah and Dāwūd b. al-Zibriqān narrated it from Ismāʿīl, from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlī. Huraym b. Sufyān narrated it from Ismāʿīl, from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlī, and added wordings in it that no one else brought. It was also said, from Huraym, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Isḥāq, from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlī, with a wording other than this. Ādam b. Abī Iyās said, from Qays, from Ismāʿīl b. Abī Khālid, from Abū ʿAmr al-Shaybānī, from ʿAlī. Bayān b. Bishr, Abū Isḥāq al-Shaybānī and Mujālid narrated it from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlī. Yaḥyā b. Ayyūb al-Bajalī contradicted them and narrated it from al-Shaʿbī, from Abū Juḥayfah, from ʿAlī. The sound (ṣaḥīḥ) version among these is the statement of those who narrated it as a mursal report from al-Shaʿbī, from ʿAlī.
