"عَنِ ابنِ شهاب، عن عبدِ اللهِ بنِ كثيرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لِى عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَبِى طَالبٍ: أَفْضَلُ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَما أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، وَلَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أُسَمِّىَ لَكُمُ الثَّالِثَ لَسَمَّيْتُهُ، وَقَالَ: لاَ يُفَضِّلُنِى أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَبى بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ إِلاَّ جَلَدْتُهُ جَلْدًا وَجِيعًا، وَسَيَكُونُ فِى آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ قَوْمٌ يَنْتَحِلُونَ مَحَبَّتَنَا وَالتَّشَيُّعَ فِينَا، هُمْ شِرَارُ عِبَادِ اللهِ الَّذين يَشْتُمُونَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ، قَالَ: وَلَقَدْ جَاءَ سَائِلٌ فَسَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَعْطَاهُ، وَأَعْطَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَأَعْطَاهُ عُمَرُ، وَأَعْطَاهُ عُثْمَانُ، فَطَلَبَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لَهُ فِيمَا أَعْطَوْهُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: كَيْفَ لاَ يُبَارَكُ وَلَمْ يُعْطِ إِلاَّ نَبِىٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيق أَوْ شَهِيدٌ؟ !

"From Ibn Shihab, from 'Abd Allah ibn Kathir who said: Ali ibn Abi Talib said to me: The best of this Ummah after its Prophet are Abu Bakr and 'Umar. Had I wished, I would have named the third for you, and he said: No one shall prefer me over Abu Bakr and 'Umar except that I will lash him a painful lashing. And there will come at the end of time a people who claim our love and adherence to our party. They are the worst of the servants of Allah, those who revile Abu Bakr and 'Umar. He said: A beggar came and asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he gave him. Abu Bakr gave him, 'Umar gave him, and 'Uthman gave him. The man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to supplicate for him that what they gave him be blessed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: How would it not be blessed when it was given only by a Prophet, a truthful one, or a martyr?!"
