(شَهَادَةُ أَمِيرِ المُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا)
(The testimony of Amir al-Mu'minin Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, about the two Sheikhs, may Allah be pleased with them)
Hadith 6057
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: إِنِّي لَوَاقِفٌ فِي قَوْمٍ فَدَعَوُا اللَّهَ لِعُمَرَ وَقَدْ وُضِعَ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ إِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ خَلَفِي قد وضع مِرْفَقُهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِي يَقُولُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ اللَّهُ مَعَ صَاحِبَيْكَ لِأَنِّي كَثِيرًا مَا كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «كُنْتُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَفَعَلْتُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَانْطَلَقْتُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَدَخَلْتُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَخَرَجْتُ وَأَبُو بكر وَعمر» . فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا هُوَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Ibn `Abbas said: I was standing among some people who made supplication to God for `Umar when he had been placed on his couch, and a man behind me who had put his elbow on my shoulder was saying, "God have mercy on you! I hope God may place you along with your two companions, because I often heard God's messenger say, `I, Abu Bakr and `Umar were...', `I, Abu Bakr and `Umar did... `I, Abu Bakr and 'Umar went off...' `I, Abu Bakr and `Umar entered...', `I, Abu Bakr and `Umar went out...'" Ibn `Abbas said that when he turned round, he saw it was `Ali b. Abu b. Talib. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
