What can we learn about the perceived relative virtues of Abu Bakr, `Umar, and `Uthman (may Allah be pleased with them all) according to a hadith narrated by Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)?
 Narrated Ibn `Umar:                     During the lifetime of the Prophet we considered Abu Bakr as peerless and then `Umar and then `Uthman (coming next to him in superiority) and then we used not to differentiate between the companions of the Prophet.
