52 — ‘Abdullāh narrated to us, saying: Suwayd ibn Sa‘īd al-Harawī narrated to us, saying: ‘Umar ibn ‘Ubayd narrated to us, from Suhayl ibn Abī Sālih, from his father, from Abū Hurayrah, who said:

“While the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were still numerous, we regarded Abū Bakr and ‘Umar as the best of this community after its Prophet.”

Abū ‘Abd al-Rahmān said: “‘Umar ibn ‘Ubayd is not al-Tanāfisī; he used to sell wine in Mecca.”
