حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَی يَرَاهُمْ مَنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُمْ کَمَا يُرَی الْکَوْکَبُ الطَّالِعُ فِي الْأُفُقِ مِنْ آفَاقِ السَّمَائِ وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَنْعَمَا
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 96
it was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: ‘The people of the highest degrees of Paradise will be seen by those beneath them as a rising star is seen on the horizon. Abu Bakr and ‘Umar will be among them, and how blessed they are.” (Da’if)
