Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who prefers 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) over Abu Bakr and 'Umar?
Answer:
No, over Abu Bakr and 'Umar. No one prefers 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) over them; there is nothing in 'Ali that is better than Abu Bakr and 'Umar. The disagreement is only between 'Ali and 'Uthman: which of the two is better? Which is better? The stronger position is that 'Uthman is better, because the Companions whom 'Umar chose for the shura (consultation) selected 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) in the presence of 'Ali. 'Ali was among the members of the shura. He was among the members of the shura, and he agreed to the selection of 'Uthman and pledged allegiance to him (may Allah be pleased with him). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
