Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو النَّمَرِيَّ - أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبَانُ بْنُ تَغْلِبَ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَهْلِ عِلِّيِّينَ لَيُشْرِفُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَتُضِيءُ الْجَنَّةُ لِوَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَهَكَذَا جَاءَ الْحَدِيثُ ‏"‏ دُرِّيٌّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ مَرْفُوعَةُ الدَّالِ لاَ تُهْمَزُ ‏"‏ وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ لَمِنْهُمْ وَأَنْعَمَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Yahya ibn al-Fadl narrated to us: Wuhaib—meaning Ibn ʿAmr al-Namari—narrated to us: Harun informed us: Aban ibn Taghlib informed me, from ʿAtiyyah al-ʿAwfi, from Abu Saʿid al-Khudri, that the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘A man among the people of the highest ranks will look down upon the people of Paradise, and Paradise will shine with his face like a brilliant star.’ He said: This is how the hadith came, with durri, the letter dal carrying a dammah and without a hamzah. ‘Abu Bakr and ʿUmar are among them—and how excellent they are!’
