حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ التِّرْمِذِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ أَبِي النَّجُودِ، عَنْ زِرٍّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حُبَيْشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ، هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ، هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ‏.‏
