English narration

Narrated by علي بن أبي طالب الهاشمي

Muhammad bin al-Hanafiyyah said: I said to my father: Which of the people after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is best? He replied: Abu Bakr. I then asked: Who comes next? He said: Umar. I was then afraid of asking him who came next, and he might mention Uthman, so I said: You came next, O my father? He said: I am only a man among the Muslims.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَامِعُ بْنُ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ ، قَالَ : "

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي أَيُّ النَّاسِ خَيْرٌ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : ثُمَّ مَنْ ؟ قَالَ : ثُمَّ عُمَرُ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَقُولَ : ثُمَّ مَنْ ؟ فَيَقُولَ : عُثْمَانُ ، فَقُلْتُ : ثُمَّ أَنْتَ يَا أَبَةِ ، قَالَ : مَا أَنَا إِلَّا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
