حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ يَعْنِي الْفَرَّاءَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ يُثَيْعٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَنْ تُؤَمِّرُ بَعْدَكَ ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ تُؤَمِّرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ أَمِينًا، زَاهِدًا فِي الدُّنْيَا، رَاغِبًا فِي الْآخِرَةِ، وَإِنْ تُؤَمِّرُوا عُمَرَ تَجِدُوهُ قَوِيًّا أَمِينًا لَا يَخَافُ فِي اللهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ، وَإِنْ تُؤَمِّرُوا عَلِيًّا، وَلَا أُرَاكُمْ فَاعِلِينَ، تَجِدُوهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا، يَأْخُذُ بِكُمُ الطَّرِيقَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

✧ It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, whom shall we appoint as leader after you?' He said: 'If you appoint Abu Bakr, you will find him trustworthy, abstinent in this world, desirous of the Hereafter. If you appoint 'Umar, you will find him strong, trustworthy, not fearing in Allah the blame of any blamer. If you appoint 'Ali — and I do not think you will do so — you will find him a guide, rightly guided, taking you along the straight path.'
