Benefits from the Hadith

  1. Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them) are the best people after the prophets and messengers.
  2. There is no old person in Paradise; rather, whoever is admitted therein will be at the age of thirty-three. What is meant here is that they are the masters of those who died in this world from the elderly, or that this is based on what they were in this world at the time of this Hadīth.
