3671. 'Abdullāh bin Ḥanṭab narrated that the Prophet ﷺ saw Abū Bakr and 'Umar and said: "These two are the hearing and the seeing." (Hasan) [He said:] There is a narration on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr and this Hadīth is Mursal. 'Abdullāh bin Ḥanṭab did not see the Prophet ﷺ.
٣٦٧١ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَنْطَبٍ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ» وَعُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: هَذَانِ السَّمْعُ وَالْبَصَرُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُرْسَلٌ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ حَنْطَبٍ لَمْ يُدْرِكِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

It means that Abū Bakr and 'Umar are very close to me and they have the same status as my eyes and ears have on my body. It may also mean that they have the same status among the Muslims and in Religion as the two organs have in the body.
