    وَعَن عَليّ قَالَ: قيل لرَسُول اللَّهِ: مَنْ نُؤَمِّرُ بَعْدَكَ؟ قَالَ: «إِنْ تُؤَمِّرُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ أَمِينًا زَاهِدًا فِي الدُّنْيَا رَاغِبًا فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَإِنْ تُؤَمِّرُوا عُمَرَ تَجِدُوهُ قَوِيًّا أَمِينًا لَا يَخَافُ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ وَإِنْ تُؤَمِّرُوا عَلِيًّا – وَلَا أَرَاكُمْ فَاعِلِينَ – تَجِدُوهُ هَادِيًا مَهْدِيًّا يَأْخُذُ بِكُمُ الطَّرِيقَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد

    `Ali told that when God’s messenger was asked whom they should appoint commander after he had gone, he replied, “If you appoint Abu Bakr as commander you will find him trustworthy, with little desire for worldly goods but eager for the next world; if you appoint `Umar as commander you will find him trustworthy and strong, fearing for God’s sake no one’s blame; and if you appoint `Ali as commander, but I cannot see you doing so, you will find him a guide who is rightly guided who will lead you in the straight way.” Ahmad transmitted it.

    وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «رَحِمَ اللَّهُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ زَوَّجَنِي ابْنَتَهُ وَحَمَلَنِي إِلَى دَارِ الْهِجْرَةِ وَصَحِبَنِي فِي الْغَارِ وَأَعْتَقَ بِلَالًا مِنْ مَالِهِ. رَحِمَ اللَّهُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُرًّا تَرَكَهُ الْحَقُّ وَمَا لَهُ مِنْ صَدِيقٍ. رَحِمَ اللَّهُ عُثْمَانَ تَسْتَحْيِيهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ عَلِيًّا اللَّهُمَّ أَدِرِ الْحَقَّ مَعَهُ حَيْثُ دَارَ» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ

    He reported God’s messenger as saying, “God show mercy to Aba Bakr! He gave me his daughter as wife, he conveyed me to the abode of the emigration, he accompanied me in the cave, and he manumitted Bilal out of his property. God show mercy to `Umar! He speaks the truth even if it is bitter, and the truth has left him without a friend. God show mercy to `Uthman! The angels display bashfulness before him. God show mercy to ‘Ali! 0 God, cause the truth to accompany him wherever he goes!” Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a gharib tradition.

    `Abdallah b. `Umar told that when God’s messenger sent out a force in charge of which he appointed Usama b. Zaid and some people criticised his appointment, he said, “If you criticise his appointment you have done the same before about his father’s appointment[*]. I swear by God that he was worthy of the office of commander, that he was one of those who were dearest to me, and that this man is one of those who are dearest to me after his time.” *The reference is to Zaid b. Haritha who was killed when leading the troops at Mu’ta. (Bukhari and Muslim.) In a version by Muslim there is something to the same effect at the end of which come the words “I commend him to you, for he is one of your upright ones.”

    `A’isha said: We, the Prophet’s wives, were once with him when Fatima came along, her style of walking being indistinguishable from that of God’s messenger. When he saw her, he said, “Welcome, my daughter,” and made her sit down. He then said something privately to her and she wept bitterly, so when he saw her grief, he said something else privately to her and she began to laugh. When God’s messenger got up and left, I asked her what he had said to her privately, but she replied, “I am not one to publish God’s messenger’s secrets.” After his death I said, “I adjure you by my right over you to tell me,” And she replied, “Now I am agreeable. When he spoke privately to me about the first matter, he informed me that Gabriel was in the habit of going over the Quran with him once annually but that he had done it twice that year, so he felt his appointed time was near. He then told me to fear God and show endurance, for he was a good forerunner for me. I wept, and when he saw my distress, he spoke to me privately a second time saying, `Are you not pleased, Fatima, that you will be the chief lady among the female inhabitants of paradise (or, of the women of the believers)’?” A version has, “He spoke to me privately informing me that he would die of his pain, so I wept. He then spoke to me privately informing me that I would be the first member of his family to follow him, so I laughed.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
