Musnad of Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 540 — from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib. Abd Khayr
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، أَخُو سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقُولُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ : أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا ؟ قَالَ : فَذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِالثَّانِي ؟ قَالَ : فَذَكَرَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَئِنْ شِئْتُ لَأَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِالثَّالِثِ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ سَكَتَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ ، قَالَ حَبِيبٌ : فَقُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ خَيْرٍ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ عَلِيٍّ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ ، وَإِلَّا فَصُمَّتَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). Abd Khayr al-Hamdani (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I heard him say on this pulpit: "Shall I not tell you about the best person of this Ummah after its Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" The narrator said: Then he mentioned Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Shall I not tell you about the second (eminent person)?" The narrator said: Then he mentioned Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). After that he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If I wished, I could tell you about the third as well." Then he fell silent, and we thought that he meant himself. Habib (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Abd Khayr (may Allah have mercy on him): "Did you really hear this statement from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) yourself?" He replied: "Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah! (I heard it myself), otherwise may both these ears of mine become deaf."
