عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَامَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَعَمِلَ بِعَمَلِهِ وَسَارَ بِسِيرَتِهِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَعَمِلَ بِعَمَلِهِمَا وَسَارَ بِسِيرَتِهِمَا حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ
It is narrated from ‘Abd Khayr that Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stood on the pulpit and mentioned the virtues of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this world, after him Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was chosen as the caliph. He carried out all affairs according to the practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and continued to follow his way, until Allah the Exalted called him to Himself. After him, Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was chosen as the caliph. He too carried out affairs according to the practice of his two predecessors and continued to follow their way, until Allah the Exalted called him to Himself, and he remained firm upon that methodology.
