137 - Ja‘far ibn Muhammad al-Firyābī narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Musaffā al-Himsī narrated to us: Baqiyyah ibn al-Walīd narrated to us, from Ibn Jurayj, from ‘Atā’, from Abū al-Dardā’, who said:

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me walking ahead of Abū Bakr and said, “Why are you walking ahead of someone who is better than you? Indeed, Abū Bakr is the best person upon whom the sun has risen or set.”
