134. It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Zaid said: "I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: 'Stand firm, O (mountain of) Hirâ', for there is no one upon you but a Prophet, a Siddiq or a martyr.'" Then he listed them as follows: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthmân, 'Ali, Talhah, Zubair, Sa'd, Ibn 'Awf and Sa'eed bin Zaid." (Sahih)

Commentary
The Hadith is explicit on the superiority of these Companions, because they accompanied the Prophet ﷺ on so many occasions.
The Prophet ﷺ spoke these words when the mountain of Hirâ' started shaking. The mountain stabilized the moment he spoke the words: "Stand firm." It is certainly a miracle performed by the Prophet ﷺ.

His full name is 'Āmir bin 'Abdullâh bin Jarrâh bin Hilâl bin 'Uhaib bin Dabba bin Hârith bin Fîhr Qurashi.
