It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man from the people of Illiyyin looks down upon the people of Paradise, it appears (because of his light) as if he were a brilliant, shining star. And indeed Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) are among them, and the two of them are even more deserving of blessings and rank than that."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Sha'bi except Yunus bin Abi Ishaq; Abu Qutaybah Salm bin Qutaybah is alone in narrating it."
