It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent to the Arabian Peninsula, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) filled it with justice and fairness;
then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) set out leading the people, and he led them on a most commendable and ample course;
then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) set out leading them, and he too led them on a most commendable and ample course."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Sa'id bin Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abd al-Jabbar bin al-Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him)."
