1813 — Ibrāhīm ibn al-Haytham al-Nāqid informed us. He said: Abd Allah ibn Umar al-Kūfī narrated to us. He said: Abū Salama narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Talha ibn Musarrif, from Abū Ubayda ibn al-Hakam al-Asadī, from al-Hakam ibn Jahl, who said: Ali—may Allah be pleased with him—said, “No one should rank me above Abū Bakr and Umar. If anyone ranks me above them, I will have him flogged with the prescribed punishment for a slanderer.”
