Musnad Ahmad 926 (Book 5, Hadith 353) #34579
The Best of the Ummah After Its Prophet

SUMMARY: Ali (RA) stated that the best of the Ummah after its Prophet are Abu Bakr and Umar, and Allah will judge all matters as He wills.

It was narrated from al-Musayyab bin 'Abd Khair that his father said : 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) stood up and said: The best of this ummah after its Prophet are Abu Bakr and 'Umar, then we got involved in matters which Allah will judge as He wills.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَامَ عَلِيٌّ فَقَالَ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَإِنَّا قَدْ أَحْدَثْنَا بَعْدَهُمْ أَحْدَاثًا يَقْضِي اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِيهَا مَا شَاءَ‏.‏

This means that these two people were very important to Islam and were highly respected by Muslims. It also implies that we should respect them too. Furthermore, it reminds us that all matters will be judged by Allah alone; no one else can judge them for us. We must trust in His judgement even if we don't understand it at first.
