Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39836 — Reports on the caliphate of Abu Bakr
٣٩٨٣٦ - حدثنا ابن نمير عن عبد الملك بن (سلع) (١) عن عبد خير قال: سمعت عليا يقول: قبض رسول اللَّه ﷺ على خير ما قبض عليه نبي من الأنبياء، (وأثنى عليه ﷺ) (٢)، قال: ثم استخلف أبو بكر فعمل بعمل رسول اللَّه ﷺ (٣) (وبسنته) (٤)، ثم قبض أبو بكر على خير ما قبض عليه أحد، وكان خير هذه الأمة بعد (نبيها) (٥) ﷺ (٦)، ثم استخلف عمر فعمل بعملهما وسنتهما ثم ⦗١٤٩⦘ قبض على خير ما قبض عليه أحد، وكان خير هذه الأمة بعد (نبيها) (٧) ﷺ (٨) وبعد أبي بكر (٩).
It is narrated from Abd Khayr: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saying that death came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the best state in which death comes to the noble prophets. Then Sayyiduna Ali praised him (peace and blessings be upon him). (Then) Sayyiduna Ali said: After that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was made caliph, and he acted according to the practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunnah. Then death came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr too in the best state in which anyone's death can come. And Sayyiduna Abu Bakr was the best person in this Ummah after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was made caliph, and he too acted according to the practice and Sunnah of him (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr. Then death came to him too in the best state in which anyone's death can come. And Sayyiduna Umar was the best person in this Ummah after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr.
