Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 868

«أرأف أمتي بأمتي أبو بكر وأشدهم في دين الله عمر وأصدقهم حياء عثمان وأقضاهم علي وأفرضهم زيد بن ثابت وأقرؤهم أبي وأعلمهم بالحلال والحرام معاذ بن جبل ألا وإن لكل أمة أمينا وأمين هذه الأمة أبو عبيدة بن الجراح»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"The most compassionate of my Ummah towards my Ummah is Abu Bakr, the sternest (firmest) in the matter of Allah's religion is Umar, the one among them with the truest modesty is Uthman, the best of them in giving judgement is Ali, the greatest expert in the knowledge of inheritance shares (fara'id) is Zayd bin Thabit, the best reciter among them is Ubayy bin Ka'b, and the most knowledgeable about the lawful and the unlawful is Mu'adh bin Jabal. Behold! Indeed every Ummah has a trustworthy one, and the trustworthy one of this Ummah is Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah."
