English translation
154. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "The most merciful of my Ummah towards my Ummah is Abu Bakr; the one who adheres most sternly to the religion of Allâh is 'Umar; the most sincere of them in shyness and modesty is 'Uthmân; the best judge is 'Ali bin Abu Tâlib; the best in reciting the Book of Allâh is Ubayy bin Ka'b; the most knowledgeable of what is lawful and unlawful is Mu'âdh bin Jabal; and the most knowledgeable of the rules of inheritance (Farâ'id) is Zaid bin Thâbit. And every nation has a trustworthy guardian, and the trustworthy guardian of this Ummah is Abu 'Ubaidah bin Jarrâh." (Sahih)
