The Prophet ﷺ said, "A man from the people of Illiyyin will look down upon the people of Paradise, appearing like a brilliant star. Indeed, Abu Bakr and Umar are among them, and how blessed they are."
عن النبي ﷺ قال: إن الرجل من أهل عليين يشرف على أهل الجنة كأنه كوكب دري، وإن أبا بكر وعمر منهم، وأنعما.
Ahmad narrated it in Fadail al-Sahabah (706), Bazzar in his Musnad (9619), and Tabarani in al-Awsat (Majma al-Bahrayn, 3643), and this last wording is his. All of them narrated it via Salm bin Qutayba Abu Qutayba, from Yunus bin Abu Ishaq, from Shaybi, from Abu Hurairah, who related it.Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Abu Qutayba Salm bin Qutayba, for his narrations are hasan. He was corroborated by Israil bin Yunus, from his father, as Imam Ahmad stated.
