I heard ‘Ali ؓ say on this minbar. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came first, Abu Bakr ؓ came second and ʿUmar ؓ came third; then we got involved in turmoil, and it was what Allah willed.
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا يَقُولُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ سَبَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَثَلَّثَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ خَبَطَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ أَصَابَتْنَا فِتْنَةٌ فَكَانَ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ
