1553. Abū Umāmah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Verily, Allāh has honored me over the Prophets" – or, he said: "My nation over the nations, and He has made the spoils of war lawful for us." (Hasan)
There are narrations on this topic from 'Alī, Abū Dharr, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, Abū Mūsā, and Ibn 'Abbās.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Abū Umāmah is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. They say that this Sayyār (a narrator) is Sayyār the freed slave of Banū Mu'āwiyah. Sulaimān At-Taimī, 'Abdullāh bin Bahīr and others reported from him.
