(The virtue of the Badr Companions, may Allah be pleased with them)
Hadith 6226
وَعَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «مَا تَعُدُّونَ أَهْلَ بَدْرٍ فِيكُمْ» . قَالَ: «مِنْ أَفْضَلِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ» أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا قَالَ: «وَكَذَلِكَ مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ» . رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ
Rifa'a b. Rafi' told that Gabriel came to the Prophet and said, "How do you consider among you those who were present at Badr?" He replied, "Among the most excellent of the Muslims," or words to that effect. He said, "It is like that with the angels who were at Badr." Bukhari transmitted it.
