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.'
