3790. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The most merciful of my nation to my nation is Abū Bakr, and the most severe of them concerning the order of Allāh is 'Umar, and the most truly modest of them is Uthmān bin 'Affān. The most knowledgeable of them concerning the lawful and the unlawful is Mu'ād̄h bin Jabal, the most knowledgeable of them concerning (the laws of) inheritance is Zaid bin Thābit, the best reciter (of the Qur'an) among them is Ubayy bin Ka'b, and every nation has a trustworthy one, and the trustworthy one of this nation is Abū 'Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrāh."(Sahih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This is a [Hasan] Gharib Hadīth, we do not know of it as a narration of Qatādah except through this route. Abū Qilābah related it from Anas from the Prophet ﷺ, similarly. [And what is well-known is the narration of Abū Qilābah.]

Commentary
Allāh ﷻ made humans different in nature, dispositions and temperaments, therefore, they had different ratios of these qualities in their nature. These Companions were ahead of each other in various qualities, but as a whole their status was according to their place in the highest set of Companions.
