Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him): "To proceed: You know the instruction that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave concerning the Ansar near his passing away: that you should accept the good of those among them who are good and overlook the wrongdoer among them."
Imam al-Bazzar recorded this narration and its chain is hasan (fair). Imam al-Tabarani also narrated it, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy, though there is disagreement about these narrators.
