Arabic text
106 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، يَقُولُ: «خَيْرُ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَخَيْرُ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عُمَرُ»

Commentary
This shows that 'Ali ﷺ also believed in the superiority of Abu Bakr and 'Umar ﷺ. As such, any statement to the contrary imputed to 'Ali ﷺ is pure fabrication.
