The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The people of the highest ranks will be seen by those below them just as a rising star is seen on one of the horizons of the sky. Abu Bakr and Umar are among them, and how blessed they are."
حدثنا علي بن محمد وعمرو بن عبد الله قالا حدثنا وكيع حدثنا الأعمش عن عطية بن سعد
قال رسول الله ﷺ إن أهل الدرجات العلى يراهم من أسفل منهم كما يرى الكوكب الطالع في الأفق من آفاق السماء وإن أبا بكر وعمر منهم وأنعما
