عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ الشَّوَائِيِّ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا فَقُلْتُ أَنْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ لَا خَيْرُ هَذِهِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا وَمَا نُبْعِدُ أَنَّ السَّكِينَةَ تَنْطِقُ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ
It is narrated from Wahb Suwai, he says: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon to us and asked: Who is the most virtuous in this Ummah after the Prophet? I replied: You yourself are, O Commander of the Faithful! But he said: No, in this Ummah, after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) is the most virtuous, after him is Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and we do not consider it unlikely that tranquility and dignity speak upon the tongue of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).
