Hadith 4626
اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نَعُدُّ ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَيٌّ وَأَصْحَابُهُ مُتَوَافِرُونَ : أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ ، وَعُثْمَانُ ، ثُمَّ نَسْكُتُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that during the blessed life of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), despite the large number of the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), when we used to rank them, we would count them as follows: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them). Upon reaching this point, we would remain silent.
