It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: In the time of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is the most virtuous of all people, after him is Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), and after him is Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). And Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) was granted three such distinctions that if I had received even one of them, it would have been dearer to me than red camels: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) married his daughter to him, his offspring came from him, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered all the doors opening into the mosque to be closed except his door, and on the day of Khaybar, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him the flag.
