الطبراني:١٨٤٢٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْعُتْبِيُّ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ثنا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُدْرِكٍ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اصْطَفُّوا وَلْيَتَقَدَّمْكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ أَفْضَلُكُمْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَصْطَفِي مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَمِنَ النَّاسِ»
