Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَنِ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ وَرْدَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْوَسِيلَةُ دَرَجَةٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ فَوْقَهَا دَرَجَةٌ فَسَلُوا اللَّهَ أَنْ يُؤْتِيَنِي الْوَسِيلَةَ.
English Translation
Musa ibn Dawud told us, from Ibn Lahi'a, from Musa ibn Wardan, who said: I heard Abu Sa'id al-Khudri say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Al-Wasilah is a rank with Allah above which there is no rank, so ask Allah to grant me al-Wasilah."
