Al-Sunnah by Abu Bakr ibn al-Khallal
Volume 2 · Page 306

Translation · EN

  1. Abu Bakr al-Marrudhi informed us, saying: I said to Abu 'Abd Allah: 'Which of the two is more virtuous: Mu'awiyah or 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz?' He replied: 'Mu'awiyah is more virtuous. We do not compare anyone to the companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.' The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 'The best of people are those of my generation in which I was sent.'

Arabic (Source)

٦٦٠ - وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْمَرُّوذِيُّ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: أَيُّهُمَا أَفْضَلُ: مُعَاوِيَةُ أَوْ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ؟ فَقَالَ: «مُعَاوِيَةُ أَفْضَلُ، لَسْنَا نَقِيسُ بِأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَدًا» . قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِيَ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ»
