Abdu Khair (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: Shall I tell you the name of the best person in this Ummah after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq and Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with them both).
