٣٤١٠٤ - حدثنا (أبو) (١) معاوية عن سهيل عن أبيه عن ابن عمر قال: كنا نعد (و) (٢) رسول اللَّه ﷺ حي: أبو بكر وعمر وعثمان ثم نسكت (٣).
Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to consider Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) as the best among the people. Then we would remain silent.
