Hadith 12021

عَنْ قَيْسٍ الْخَارِفِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ: سَبَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، وَثَلَّثَ عُمَرُ، ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ أَصَابَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ، فَكَانَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: يَعْفُو اللَّهُ عَمَّنْ يَشَاءُ).
Qais Kharfi says: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saying on this pulpit: First, 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) led the Ummah in prayers. Third came Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). After him, we were overtaken by trials and tribulations, then whatever Allah willed, happened. In another narration it is stated: Allah will forgive whomever He wills.
