(حديث موقوف) قال قال عَبْد اللَّهِ بن أحمد : حَدَّثَنِي
أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنْ
ابْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى
عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ ، فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ مَنْزِلَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : " مَنْزِلَتُهُمَا السَّاعَةَ " .
Ibn Abu Hazim says that a man came to Sayyiduna Ali bin Husayn (Imam Zain ul Abideen) and asked, "What is the status and rank of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Umar with the Prophet (peace be upon him)?" He replied, "The same as they have now." Benefit: Just as they are companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) now, they were in the world and will be in the Hereafter as well, inshaAllah.
