حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي الْفِرْيَابِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام كَانَ أَحَقَّ بِالْوِلَايَةِ مِنْهُمَا فَقَدْ خَطَّأَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْأَنْصَارَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَا أُرَاهُ يَرْتَفِعُ لَهُ مَعَ هَذَا عَمَلٌ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ .

I heard Sufyan say: If anyone thinks that ‘Ali ( رضی اللہ عنہ) was more deserving for the Caliphate than both of them, he imputed error to Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ, Umar رضی اللہ عنہ, the Muhajirun (Immigrants), and the Ansar (Helpers) Allah be pleased with all of them. I think that with this (belief) none of his action will rise to the heaven.
