حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ : إِنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : "

كُنَّا نَقُولُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حي أَفْضَلُ أُمَّةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، ثُمَّ عُمَرُ ، ثُمَّ عُثْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
