حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو النَّمَرِيَّ - أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبَانُ بْنُ تَغْلِبَ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏

إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أَهْلِ عِلِّيِّينَ لَيُشْرِفُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَتُضِيءُ الْجَنَّةُ لِوَجْهِهِ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَهَكَذَا جَاءَ الْحَدِيثُ ‏"‏ دُرِّيٌّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ مَرْفُوعَةُ الدَّالِ لاَ تُهْمَزُ ‏"‏ وَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ لَمِنْهُمْ وَأَنْعَمَا ‏"

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: A man from the Illiyyun will look downwards at the people of Paradise and Paradise will be glittering as if it were a brilliant star.

He (the narrator) said: In this way the word durri (brilliant) occurs in this tradition, i.e. the letter dal (d) has short vowel u and it has no hamzah ('). AbuBakr and Umar will be of them and will have some additional blessings.

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 3987).
