What is authenticity of following narration?
إذا كان يوم القيامة نادى مناد لا يرفعن أحد من هذه الأمة كتابه قبل أبي بكر وعمر
Answer:
Hafiz Ibn ‘Asakir (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration. However, the chain consists of an extremely weak narrator. The Hadith should not be quoted.
(Tarikh Dimashq, vol. 44 pg. 459. Refer: Mizanul I’tidal, vol. 2 pg. 9, number: 2490 and Lisanul Mizan, vol. 6 pg. 335, number: 6040. Also see: Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 818, Al Mudawi, Hadith: 396 and Al Mughir, Hadith: 56)
Translation
On the day of Qiyamah, a caller will announce, ‘None from this ummah will raise their book of deeds before Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
