Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) walking in front of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "O Abu al-Darda! You are walking in front of a man than whom, after the prophets, the sun has not risen upon anyone more excellent." The narrator says: After that, Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) was always seen walking behind Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him).
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Isma'il bin Yahya al-Taymi, and he is a kadhdhab (liar).
