Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-785b
"عَنْ أبى الزناد قال: قال رجلٌ لِعَلِىٍّ: يا أمير المؤمنين: مالُ المهاجرين والأَنصار قَدَّموا أبا بكر وأنت أوفى منه منقبة، وأقدم منه سِلْمًا، وأسبقُ سابِقَةً؟ ! قال: إن كنتَ قرشيًا فأحسبُكَ مِن عائذةَ، قال: نعم، قال: لولا أن المؤمن عائذ الله لقتلتك، ولئن بقيت لتأتينك منى روعة حصراء، ويحك! ! إن أبا بكر سبقنى إلى أربع: سبقنى إلى الإمامة، وتقديم الهجرة، وإلى الغار، وإفشاء السلام، ويحك إن الله ذم الناس كلهم ومدح أبا بكر فَقَالَ: {إِلَّا تَنْصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ} الآية ".

"Narrated from Abu al-Zinad: A man said to 'Ali: 'O Commander of the Faithful, the wealth of the Muhajirun and the Ansar! They preferred Abu Bakr, while you are more excellent than him in merit, earlier than him in Islam, and more precedent in virtue?!' He said: 'If you are a Qurashi, then I suppose you are from 'A'idhah.' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Were it not that the believer is a protected one of Allah, I would have killed you. And if I live, a severe fright will come to you from me. Woe to you! Abu Bakr preceded me in four things: he preceded me to the imamate, to the precedence of hijrah, to the cave, and to spreading the greeting of peace. Woe to you! Allah censured all the people and praised Abu Bakr, saying: {If you do not aid him, then Allah has already aided him} [Quran 9:40], and so on."
