English translation
3665. 'Ali bin Abī Tālib said: "I was with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and Abū Bakr and 'Umar came up (in discussion), so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "These two are the masters of the elder people among the inhabitants of Paradise. From the first ones and the last ones, not including the Prophets and the Messengers. But do not inform them O 'Ali.'" (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb from this route. Al-Walīd bin Muḥammad Al-Mūqārī was graded weak in Hadīth. [And 'Ali bin Al-Husain did not hear from ‘Ali bin Abī Tālib] And this Hadīth has been reported from ‘Ali through routes other than this. And there are narrations on this topic from Anas and Ibn ‘Abbās.
