Sayyiduna Abu Umamah al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "I am the one who takes the lead to Paradise among the Arabs, Suhayb is the one who takes the lead to Paradise among the Romans, Bilal is the one who takes the lead to Paradise among the Abyssinians, and Salman is the one who takes the lead to Paradise among the Persians."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Ayyub bin Abi Sulayman al-Suri, a teacher of al-Tabarani, whom I do not know. The remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih, except Baqiyyah, whose case is different, and he has explicitly stated that he heard it directly.
