The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا وَلَوْ شِئْتُ لَحَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِالثَّالِثِ.
It was narrated from Abu Juhaifah: I heard `Ali (رضي الله عنه) say: The best of this ummah after its Prophet (ﷺ) are Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (رضي الله عنهما), and if I wanted, I could tell you of the third one.
