٣٤١١٣ - حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن جامع عن منذر عن ابن الحنفية قال: قلت لأبي (من) (١) خير الناس بعد رسول اللَّه ﷺ؟ قال: أبو بكر، قال: قلت: ثم من؟ قال: ثم عمر، قال: قلت: فأنت؟ قال: (أبوك) (٢) رجل من المسلمين (٣).
Hazrat Ibn Hanafiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I asked my father, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): Who was the best person among the people after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Abu Bakr was. I asked: Then who? He replied: Umar was. I asked: And you? He replied: Your father was an ordinary man among the Muslims.
