Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Are Abu Bakr and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) the best of the followers of the prophets, absolutely?
Answer:
Yes. The best of the prophets is the best of creation after the prophets, from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The best of creation after the prophets is from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because the best of the messengers is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the best of the nations is the nation of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and Abu Bakr and 'Umar are the best of this nation.
Abu Bakr went out as a fugitive (may Allah be pleased with him), then after him Abu Bakr, and after him 'Uthman, and after him 'Ali, and the four (may Allah be pleased with them), then the rest of the ten who were promised Paradise, then the Muhajireen are better than the Ansar, then the Companions of Badr and the Companions of the Pledge of 'Aqabah. Yes, they differed in rank, and the Companions differed in rank (may Allah be pleased with them). But they are the best of the nations after the prophets. Yes.
