Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنِي فُضَيْلُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي عَنْزٍ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَنْ يَدْخُلَ
الْجَنَّةَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا أَنْتَ قَالَ وَلَا أَنَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَغَمَّدَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ

English Translation
Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us, Fudayl ibn Marzuq, the freed slave of Banu 'Anz, narrated to me, from 'Atiyyah al-'Awfi, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed among the inhabitants of Paradise are those whom the people of the upper levels will see as you see the brilliant star on the eastern or western horizon, due to the difference in rank between them.' They said: O Messenger of Allah, are those the dwellings of the Prophet ﷺs that no one else can reach? He said: 'Certainly not. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, they are men who believed in Allah and believed the Messengers.'
