Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34093 — Reports on Abu Bakr al-Siddiq

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the people of the high ranks in Paradise will be seen by the people of the level below them just as you see a star rising on the horizon of the sky. And indeed Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) will be among them, and they will excel even further."
