"إِنَّ أَرأَفَ النَّاسِ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُّةِ أَبُو بكْرٍ، وإِن أَقْوَاهَا فِى أَمْرِ اللَّه عُمَرُ،

وإِنَّ أَصْدَقَهَا حَيَاءَ عُثْمَانُ، وإِنَّ أَعْلَمَهَا بِفَصْلِ الْقَضَاء عَلىٌّ، وإِنَّ أقْرأَهَا أُبَىٌّ، وإِنَّ أَفْرضَها زَيْدٌ، وإِنَّ أَعلَمَهَا بالنَّاسِخ والْمنْسُوخِ مُعَاذٌ، وإِنَّ لِكُل أُمَّةٍ أَمِينًا، وأَمِينُ هَذِه الأمَّةِ أبو عُبَيْدَةَ بنُ الجَرَّاحِ".
