772 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ أَهْلَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَا لَيَرَوْنَ أَهْلَ عِلِّيِّينَ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ الْكَوْكَبَ الدُّرِّيِّ فِي الْأُفُقِ، وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ لَمِنْهُمْ، وَأَنْعَمَا»
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Those with high ranks (in Paradise) will look at the people of ‘Illiyyin’ just as you see a shining star on the horizon, and Abu Bakr and Umar are among them. And these two are very good.”
