السيوطي:٢-٦١٧b –

"عَنِ السُّدِّى فِى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ} قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: لَوْ شَاءَ الله لَقَالَ: أَنْتُمْ، فَكُنَّا كُلُّنَا، وَلَكِنْ قَالَ: كُنْتُمْ فِى خَاصَّةِ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمَنْ صَنَعَ مِثْلَ صَنِيعهِمْ كَانُوا خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ للِنَّاسِ".  

ابن جرير، وابن أبى حاتم
