The Messenger of Allah said: The most merciful of my Ummah towards my Ummah is Abu Bakr; the one who adheres most sternly to the religion of Allah is 'Umar; the most sincere of them in shyness and modesty is 'Uthman; the best judge is 'Ali bin Abu Talib; the best in reciting the Book of Allah is Ubayy bin Ka'b; the most knowledgeable of what is lawful and unlawful is Mu'adh bin Jabal; and the most knowledgeable of the rules of inheritance (Fara'id) is Zaid bin Thabit. And every nation has a trustworthy guardian, and the trustworthy guardian of this Ummah is Abu 'Ubaidah bin Jarrah." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 154)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْحَمُ أُمَّتِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَأَشَدُّهَا فِي دِينِ اللهِ عُمَرُ وَأَصْدَقُهَا حَيَاءً عُثْمَانُ وَأَعْلَمُهَا بِالْحَلَالِ وَالْحَرَامِ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأَقْرَؤُهَا لِكِتَابِ اللهِ أُبَيٌّ وَأَعْلَمُهَا بِالْفَرَائِضِ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَمِينٌ وَأَمِينُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The most compassionate of my nation towards it is Abu Bakr, and the strictest in following the command of Allah is Umar, and the most modest of them is Uthman, and the most knowledgeable of the recitation of the Quran is Ubay bin Ka'b, and the most comprehensive in understanding it is Zaid bin Thabit, and the most just in ruling is Ali bin Abi Talib, and the most knowledgeable in lawful and unlawful matters is Mu'adh bin Jabal, and the most truthful in speech is Abu Dhar, and the most reliable person in this nation is Abu Ubaidah bin al-Jarrah, and the most knowledgeable scholar of this nation is Abdullah bin Abbas." Kauthar bin Hakim is unreliable.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَرْأَفَ أُمَّتِي بِهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَإِنَّ أَصْلَبَهَا فِي أَمْرِ اللَّهِ عُمَرَ وَإِنَّ أَشَدَّهَا حَيَاءً عُثْمَانُ وَإِنَّ أَقْرَأَهَا أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَإِنَّ أَفْرَضَهَا زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَإِنَّ أَقْضَاهَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَإِنَّ أَعْلَمَهَا بِالْحَلَالِ وَالْحَرَامِ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَإِنَّ أَصْدَقَهَا لَهْجَةً أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَإِنَّ أَمِينَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَإِنَّ حَبْرَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ لِعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ» كوثر بن حكيم ساقط
