Waki' narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from 'Atiyyah ibn Sa'd, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The inhabitants of the upper ranks will be seen by those below them as you see a bright star in the horizon of the sky. Indeed Abu Bakr and Umar are among them and how excellent they are!"
