Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2166 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If they make
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ زَنْجُوَيْهِ قَالَ : نَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ : نَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ يُثَيْعٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : إِنْ يَسْتَخْلِفُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَجِدُوهُ مُسْلِمًا أَمِينًا زَاهِدًا فِي الدُّنْيَا ، رَاغِبًا فِي الْآخِرَةِ ، وَإِنْ يُؤَمِّرُوا عُمَرَ يَجِدُوهُ قَوِيًّا أَمِينًا ، لَا تَأْخُذُهُ فِي اللهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ ، وَإِنْ يُؤَمِّرُوا عَلِيًّا ، - وَلَا أُرَاهُمْ يَفْعَلُونَ- ، يَجِدُوهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا ، يَسْلُكُ بِهِمُ الطَّرِيقَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ . لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ إِلَّا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If they make Abu Bakr the caliph, they will find him a Muslim, trustworthy, indifferent to this world and eager for the Hereafter. If they make Umar the ruler, they will find him strong and trustworthy, one whom the blame of a blamer does not hold back in the matter of Allah. And if they make Ali the ruler, and I do not think they will do so, they will find him rightly guided himself and guiding others, and he will lead them on the straight path."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Fudayl except Zayd bin al-Hubab."
