(مَقَامٌ رَفِيعٌ لِحَضْرَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا)
(The lofty status of Hazrat Abu Bakr and Umar, may Allah be pleased with them)
Hadith 6058
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِن أهل الْجنَّة ليراءون أهلَ عِلِّيِّينَ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ الْكَوْكَبَ الدُّرِّيَّ فِي أُفُقِ السَّمَاءِ وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَنْعَمَا» . رَوَاهُ فِي «شَرْحِ السُّنَّةِ» وَرَوَى نَحْوَهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported the Prophet as saying, "The inhabitants of paradise and those of `Illiyin will see one another as you see a sparkling star in the extremities of the sky, and Abu Bakr and `Umar will be among the latter, having been shown special favour." It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna, and Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted something to the same effect.
