Hadith #45297
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي الْغُدَانِيَّ الْأَشَلَّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جُحَيْفَةَ الَّذِي، كَانَ عَلِيٌّ يُسَمِّيهِ وَهْبَ الْخَيْرِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَا أَبَا جُحَيْفَةَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَفْضَلِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَرَى أَنَّ أَحَدًا أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ قَالَ أَفْضَلُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَبَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَبَعْدَهُمَا آخَرُ ثَالِثٌ وَلَمْ يُسَمِّهِ.
Ismail bin Ibrahim told us, Mansour bin Abdul Rahman, meaning Al-Ghadani Al-Ashal, told us on the authority of Al-Sha’bi, Abu Juhayfa told me Who, Ali used to call him the bestower of goodness. Ali, may God be pleased with him, said: O Abu Juhayfah, shall I not tell you the best of this nation? After its Prophet. He said, “Yes.” He said, “And I did not see anyone better than him.” He said, “The best of this nation after its Prophet is Abu Bakr.” After Abu Bakr, Omar, may God be pleased with him, and after them there was another third, but he did not name him.
