It was narrated that Ibrahim an-Nakha'i said: 'Alqamah bin Qais struck this minbar and said: 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) addressed us from this minbar, he praised and glorified Allah, and said what Allah willed that he should say, and he said:The best of this ummah after the Messenger of Allah is Abu Bakr, then 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both. Then we got involved in events and Allah will decide concerning that.
