During the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) we considered Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ as peerless and then `Umar and then `Uthman رضی اللہ عنہ (coming next to him in superiority) and then we used not to differentiate between the companions of the Prophet. Without giving them superiority to one another, Abdullah (bin Sualih) has also reported from Abdul Azeez in the same way.
