وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا، فَقَالَ: أَنْبِئُونِي بِأَفْضَلِ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ إِيمَانًا ؟، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، قَالَ ﷺ: هُمْ كَذَلِكَ، وَيَحِقُّ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ، وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ، وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَهُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهُمْ بِهَا، بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ، قَالُوا: الْأَنْبِيَاءُ الَّذِينَ أَكْرَمَهُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى بِرِسَالَتِهِ وَالنُّبُوَّةِ، قَالَ ﷺ: هُمْ كَذَلِكَ، وَيَحِقُّ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ، وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَهُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهُمْ بِهَا قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، الشُّهَدَاءُ الَّذِينَ اسْتُشْهِدُوا مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، قَالَ ﷺ: هُمْ كَذَلِكَ، وَيَحِقُّ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُمْ وَقَدْ أَكْرَمَهُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى بِالشَّهَادَةِ مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، بَلْ غَيْرُهُمْ، قَالُوا: فَمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: أَقْوَامٌ فِي أَصْلَابِ الرِّجَالِ

✧ I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: 'Tell me about the best of the people of faith in faith.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the angels.' He ﷺ said: 'They are so, and that is rightfully theirs, and what prevents them, for Allah the Exalted has placed them in the station He placed them. But others.' They said: 'The prophets whom Allah the Exalted honored with His message and prophethood.' He ﷺ said: 'They are so, and that is rightfully theirs, and what prevents them, for Allah the Exalted has placed them in the station He placed them.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the martyrs who were martyred with the prophets.' He ﷺ said: 'They are so, and that is rightfully theirs, and what prevents them, for Allah the Exalted honored them with martyrdom with the prophets. But others.' They said: 'Who then, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Peoples in the loins of men.'

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.
