Musnad Ahmad 1032 (Book 5, Hadith 452) #34678
The Best of the Ummah After its Prophet

SUMMARY: Ali (RA) stated that the best of the Ummah after its Prophet (SAW) is 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 is 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، أَنْبَأَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَامَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَإِنَّا قَدْ أَحْدَثْنَا بَعْدُ أَحْدَاثًا يَقْضِي اللَّهُ فِيهَا مَا شَاءَ‏.‏

This hadith teaches us to respect those who have done good deeds for Islam but also to remember that only Allah knows what is truly right or wrong in any situation. We should always strive to do our best in life but ultimately leave it up to God's judgement on what happens next.
