He said, "O daughter of my neighbor, come and join me for ablution as I have never prayed behind an imam after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who resembled the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ more than your imam." Isam said in his hadith, Zaid said, "Abu Bakr and Umar were not mentioned in this regard."
