حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَبُو کُرَيْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَ جَائَ جِبْرِيلُ أَوْ مَلَکٌ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ مَا تَعُدُّونَ مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا فِيکُمْ قَالُوا خِيَارَنَا قَالَ کَذَلِکَ هُمْ عِنْدَنَا خِيَارُ الْمَلَائِکَةِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 160
Rãfi’ bin Khadij said: “Jibril or an angel came to the Prophet P.B.U.H and said: ‘How do you regard those among you who were present at Bath?’ He said: ‘They are the best among us.’ He said: ‘We think the same (of the angels who were present at Badr), they are the best of the angels.’”(Sahih)
