Sahaba

♣  We used to compare the people as to who was better during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle. We used to regard Abu Bakr (RadhiAllahu Anhu) as the best, then 'Umar (RadhiAllahu Anhu), and then 'Uthman (RadhiAllahu Anhu).

And, he who hurts them, has hurt me. and, he who hurts me, hurts Allah. and, he who hurts Allah, soon He will seize him (in punishment).”
