Qutaibah told us, he said, Muhammad bin Fudayl told us, on the authority of Salim bin Abi Hafsa, Al-A’mash, Abdullah bin Sahban, and Ibn Abi Laila, And many of them are Al-Nawaa’, all of them on the authority of Atiyya, on the authority of Abu Sa’id, who said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Indeed, the people of the highest ranks So that those below them may see them as you see the star rising on the horizon of the sky, and that Abu Bakr and Omar were among them and were blessed.” Abu Issa said this. It is a good hadith, and it was narrated through more than one authority, on the authority of Attiya, on the authority of Abu Saeed.
