[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, the people of Ali will be seen by those beneath them, just as a star is seen in the sky. And indeed, Abu Bakr and Umar are among them and they are blessed." Abu Abdur-Rahman said: I heard my father say that he heard Sufyan bin Uyaynah say in a narration of the Prophet ﷺ : "And they are blessed." And he said, "And welcome."  

أحمد:١١٤٦٧ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَهْلَ عِلِّيِّينَ لَيَرَاهُمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا يُرَى الْكَوْكَبُ فِي أُفُقِ السَّمَاءِ وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ لَمِنْهُمْ وَأَنْعَمَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ يَقُولُ فِي حَدِيثِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَأَنْعَمَا قَالَ وَأَهْلًا
