حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، ثَنَا بَشِيرُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ، عَنْ رُكَيْنٍ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ ؓ قَالَ: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ:
أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَرْأَفُ أُمَّتِي وَأَرْحَمُهَا، وَعُمَرُ أَجْرَأُ أُمَّتِي وَأَعْدَلُهَا، وَعُثْمَانُ أَحْيَا أُمَّتِي وَأَكْرَمُهَا، وَعَلِيٌّ أَلَبُّ أُمَّتِي وَأَشْجَعُهَا، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَبَرُّ أُمَّتِي وَآمَنُهَا، وَأَبُو ذَرٍّ أَزْهَدُ أُمَّتِي وَأَصْدَقُهَا، وَأَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ أَعْذَرُ أُمَّتِي وَأَتْقَاهَا، وَمُعَاوِيَةُ أَحْلَمُ أُمَّتِي وَأَجْوَدُهَا
