حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ، هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ.
