حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَرَّاءُ مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ
أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَاعِدًا عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا ﷺ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَالثَّانِي عُمَرُ وَلَوْ أَشَاءُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَ الثَّالِثَ ذَكَرْتُهُ»
