Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1639 — he heard Sayyiduna Ali say: The Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصَفَّى قَالَ : نَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ : سَبَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، وَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَثَلَّثَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ [ فَمَا شَاءَ اللهُ ] . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ إِلَّا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، وَلَا عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ إِلَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصَفَّى I " .
Abd Khayr (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that he heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went ahead of all, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came second, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came third; then a fitnah (trial) engulfed us, and then what Allah willed came to pass."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Khalid (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abu al-Ahwas (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one from Abu al-Ahwas (may Allah have mercy on him) except Mu'awiyah (may Allah have mercy on him), while Muhammad bin Musaffa (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
