حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شَاذَانَ قَالَا ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَا ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنَا النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ يُثَيْعٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«إِنْ وَلَّيْتُمُوهَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَزَاهِدٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا رَاغِبٌ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَفِي جِسْمِهِ ضَعْفٌ وَإِنْ وَلَّيْتُمُوهَا عُمَرُ فَقِوِيُّ أَمِينٌ لَا يَخَافُ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ وَإِنْ وَلَّيْتُمُوهَا عَلِيًّا فَهَادٍ مُهْتَدٍ يُقِيمُكُمْ عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ»

✧ If you entrust it (the caliphate) to Abu Bakr, he is one who abstains from this world and desires the Hereafter, and in his body there is weakness. If you entrust it to Umar, he is strong, trustworthy, and does not fear the blame of any blamer in Allah. If you entrust it to Ali, he is a guide, rightly guided, and will keep you on a straight path.
