حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ كُنَّا نَعُدُّ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَيٌّ وَأَصْحَابُهُ مُتَوَافِرُونَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ ثُمَّ نَسْكُتُ.
English Translation
Abu Mu'awiya narrated to us: Suhayl ibn Abi Salih narrated to us, from his father, from Ibn 'Umar, who said: We used to count [the best of people] while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was alive and his Companions were numerous in his presence: Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman - then we would fall silent.
