وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ قَالَ: نَا الْمِنْهَالُ بْنُ بَحْرٍ قَالَ: نَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:
" أَخْبِرُونِي بِأَعْظَمِ الْخَلْقِ عِنْدَ اللهِ مَنْزِلَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ؟ قَالُوا: الْمَلَائِكَةُ، قَالَ: " وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ مَعَ قُرْبِهِمْ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ " قَالُوا: الْأَنْبِيَاءُ، قَالَ: " وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ وَالْوَحْيُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمْ، بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ " قَالُوا: فَأَخْبِرْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: " قَوْمٌ يَأْتُونَ بَعْدَكُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي وَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي، وَيَجِدُونَ الْوَرَقَ الْمُعَلَّقَ فَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ، أُولَئِكَ أَعْظَمُ الْخَلْقِ مَنْزِلَةً وَأُولَئِكَ أَعْظَمُ الْخَلْقِ إِيمَانًا عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ".

✧ Tell me who will have the greatest station with Allah on the Day of Resurrection. They said: The angels. He said: What prevents them, despite their nearness to their Lord? Rather, others. They said: The prophets. He said: What prevents them, while revelation descends upon them? Rather, others. They said: Then tell us, O Messenger of Allah. He said: A people who come after you, who believe in me though they have not seen me, and who find the written page and believe in it. Those are the greatest of creation in station, and those are the greatest of creation in faith with Allah on the Day of Resurrection.

وحديث المنهال بن بحر عن هشام الدستوائي عن يحيى بن أبي كثير عن زيد بن أسلم عن أبيه عن عمر إنما يرويه الحفاظ الثقات عن هشام عن يحيى عن زيد بن أسلم عن عمر مرسلا وإنما يعرف هذا الحديث من حديث محمد بن أبي حميد ومحمد رجل من أهل المدينة ليس بقوي قد حدث عنه جماعة ثقات واحتملوا حديثه حدث بهذا الحديث عن زيد بن أسلم عن أبيه عن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وحدث أيضا بآخر لم يتابع عليه
machine translationAs for the hadith of al-Minhāl b. Baḥr, from Hishām al-Dastuwāʾī, from Yaḥyā b. Abī Kathīr, from Zayd b. Aslam, from his father, from ʿUmar: it is only narrated by the trustworthy memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) from Hishām, from Yaḥyā, from Zayd b. Aslam, from ʿUmar, as a mursal report. This hadith is only known from the hadith of Muḥammad b. Abī Ḥumayd, and Muḥammad is a man from the people of Madinah who is not strong (laysa bi-qawī). A group of trustworthy narrators narrated from him and tolerated his hadith. He narrated this hadith from Zayd b. Aslam, from his father, from ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ, and he also narrated another hadith in which he was not corroborated.
