4629. It was narrated that Muḥammad bin Al-Ḥanafiyyah said: "I said to my father:[2] 'Which of the people is best after the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ?' He said: 'Abū Bakr.' I said: 'Then who?' He said: 'Then 'Umar.' Then I was afraid to ask, 'then who,' lest he say 'Uthmān. I said: 'Then you, O my father.' He said: 'I am just one of the Muslims.'" (Sahīh)
4629 - 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 اللهُ 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»
