370 - Abu Bakr al-Marwudhi informed us, saying: I heard Abu Abd Allah say: "They speak regarding his caliphate," or he said: "the best of creation after the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace."
٣٧٠ - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْمَرُّوذِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: " يَتَكَلَّمُونَ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ، أَوْ قَالَ: خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "
