حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ صَالِحُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْقُدُّوسِ بْنُ بَکْرِ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرُ سَيِّدَا کُهُولِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ إِلَّا النَّبِيِّينَ وَالْمُرْسَلِينَ
