Muhammad bin Bashar narrated to us, he said: ‘Abdur Rahman bin Mahdi narrated to us, and ‘Abdur Rahman bin Mahdi from Shu’bah, and Shu’bah from Jariri, from Abu Nadrah, he said: Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then he mentioned a narration of the same meaning in a similar manner, but in it he did not mention the intermediary of Abu Sa’id Khudri, and this is more authentic.
´Narrated Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri:` that Abu Bakr said: "Am I not the most deserving of it among the people, am I not the first to become Muslim, am I not the person of such and such, am I not the person of such and such."
