Musnad of Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 880 — Musnad of Ali ibn Abi Talib
(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ . ح وأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ ، سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، يَقُولُ : " خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، وَلَوْ شِئْتُ لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِالثَّالِثِ " .
It is narrated from Abu Juhaifa that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The best person in this Ummah after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), and after Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) is Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him), and if I wish, I can also mention the name of the third person.
