حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ فِرَاسٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ سَيِّدَا كُهُولِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنَ الأَوَّلِينَ وَالآخِرِينَ إِلاَّ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالْمُرْسَلِينَ لاَ تُخْبِرْهُمَا يَا عَلِيُّ مَا دَامَا حَيَّيْنِ " .

Hisham ibn 'Ammar narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Hasan ibn 'Umarah, from Firas, from al-Sha'bi, from al-Harith, from 'Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abu Bakr and 'Umar are the leaders of the mature men of Paradise, among the first and the last, except for the prophets and messengers. Do not tell the two of them while they are alive, 'Ali.
