"عَنْ وَهْبِ السِّوَائِىَّ قَالَ: خَطَبَ عَلِىٌّ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ: مَنْ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبيِّهَا؟ قَالُوا: أَنْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَ: لَا، بَلْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ عُمَرُ أَنْ كُنَّا لَنَظُنُّ أَنَّ السَّكِينَةَ تنطقُ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ".

"On the authority of Wahb al-Suwa'i, he said: 'Ali addressed the people and said: Who is the best of this Ummah after its Prophet? They said: You, O Commander of the Faithful. He said: No, rather Abu Bakr, then 'Umar. Indeed, we used to think that tranquility speaks upon the tongue of 'Umar."
