Original Arabic
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ هَدِيَّةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، بِمَكَّةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْبَجَلِيُّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ،، ، عَنْ وَهْبٍ السُّوَائِيِّ، قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا عَلِيٌّ، فَقَالَ: " مَنْ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا؟ " فَقُلْتُ: أَنْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ: " لَا خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ثُمَّ عُمَرُ، وَمَا نُبْعِدُ أَنَّ السَّكِينَةَ تَنْطِقُ عَلَى لِسَانِ عُمَرَ " (١)،

It was narrated that Wahb as-Suwa`i said:
`Ali (رضي الله عنه) addressed us and said: Who is the best of this ummah after its Prophet (ﷺ) ? I said: You, O Ameer al-Mu`mineen. He said: No, the best of this ummah after its Prophet (ﷺ) is Abu Bakr, then `Umar (رضي الله عنهما), and it would not be far-fetched to suggest that tranquillity was uttered on the lips of `Umar (رضي الله عنه).
