3707. Ibn ‘Umar narrated: “While the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was alive, we used to say: ‘Abū Bakr, and (then) ‘Umar, and (then) ‘Uthmān.’” (Ṣaḥīh) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīh Gharīb from this route. It is Gharīb as a narration of ‘Ubaidullāh bin ‘Umar. And this Hadīth has been related through other routes from Ibn ‘Umar.

٣٧٠٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ ‌عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: «كُنَّا نَقُولُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَيٌّ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ» وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، يُسْتَغْرَبُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ.

Commentary

During the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ in the sequence of superiority, the first position was of Abū Bakr, the second of ‘Umar and the third of ‘Uthmān. Ahl Sunnah Wal Jamā‘ah have the same view.
