Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8909

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ : قِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ نُؤَمِّرُ بَعْدَكَ ؟ قَالَ : " إِنْ تُؤَمِّرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ أَمِينًا زَاهِدًا فِي الدُّنْيَا رَاغِبًا فِي الْآخِرَةِ ، وَإِنْ تُؤَمِّرُوا عُمَرَ تَجِدُوهُ قَوِيًّا أَمِينًا لَا تَأْخُذُهُ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ ، وَإِنْ تُؤَمِّرُوا عَلِيًّا وَلَا أَرَاكُمْ فَاعِلِينَ تَجِدُوهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا يَأْخُذُ بِكُمُ الطَّرِيقَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ " .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُ الْبَزَّارِ ثِقَاتٌ .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he narrates: It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, whom shall we make our leader after you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you make Abu Bakr your leader, you will find him trustworthy, indifferent to the world and eager for the Hereafter. If you make Umar your leader, you will find him strong and trustworthy; the blame of any blamer will not take hold of him in the matter of Allah Almighty. And if you make Ali your leader, and I do not think you will do so, you will find him a guide and rightly guided; he will lead you on the straight path."
Imam Ahmad, Imam Bazzar, and Imam Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat recorded it. The narrators of Imam Bazzar are thiqat (trustworthy).
