On one occasion, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said that among all the prophets (peace be upon them), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away in the best manner. After him, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as the caliph; he continued to act according to the way and character of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as the caliph, and he continued to act according to the way and character of both of them.
