"عَنْ أبِى بَكْرَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُل إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِلَى مَنْ أُؤَدى صَدَقَةَ مَالِى؟ قَالَ: إِلَىِّ، قَالَ: فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْكَ؟ قَالَ: إِلَى أَبِى بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْهُ؟ قَالَ: إلَى عُمَرَ قَالَ: فَإِنْ لَمْ أَجِدْهُ؟ قَالَ: إِلَى عثمَانَ، ثُمَ وَلَّى منصَرِفًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ "هَؤُلَاءِ الخُلَفَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدِى".
