"Narrated from al-Nazzal ibn Sabrah: On a day when 'Ali ibn Abi Talib was in good spirits, we met him and said: 'O Commander of the Faithful, tell us about your Companions.' He said: 'All the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are my Companions.' We said: 'Tell us about your Companions specifically.' He said: 'There was no companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ except that he was also a companion of mine.' We said: 'Tell us about Abu Bakr al-Siddiq.' He said: 'That is a man whom Allah named Siddiq upon the tongue of Jibril and Muhammad ﷺ. He was the successor of the Messenger of Allah, whom he approved for our religion, so we approved him for our worldly affairs.' We said: 'Then tell us about 'Umar ibn al-Khattab.' He said: 'That is a man whom Allah named al-Faruq, who distinguishes between truth and falsehood. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: O Allah, strengthen Islam through 'Umar ibn al-Khattab.' We said: 'Then tell us about 'Uthman.' He said: 'That is a man who is called in the Highest Assembly Dhu al-Nurayn. He was the son-in-law of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ over his two daughters, and he was guaranteed a house in Paradise.'"
