اُردوEn
(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَحْرٍ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ الْبَصْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ : " إِنَّ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَبَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عُمَرُ ، وَأَحْدَثْنَا أَحْدَاثًا يَصْنَعُ اللَّهُ فِيهَا مَا شَاءَ " .
When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) finished with the people of Basra, he said: The best person in this Ummah after the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), after him was Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him), after that we have invented things in which Allah will do whatever He wills.
