حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: نَا وَهْبُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْأَسَدِيُّ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ قَالَ:
دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ الْكُوفَةِ فَإِذَا عَلِيٌّ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ، فَكَانَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ أَنْ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَلَا إِنَّ خَيْرَكُمْ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّكُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَخَيْرَكُمْ بَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عُمَرُ، وَلَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أُسَمِّيَ الثَّالِثَ لَسَمَّيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: فَرِيقٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ

✧ I entered the mosque of Kufah, and there was Ali on the minbar, delivering a sermon to the people. In his sermon he said: 'O people, the best of you after your Prophet is Abu Bakr, and the best of you after Abu Bakr is Umar. If I wished to name the third, I would name him.' A group of people said: 'He only means himself.'
