What is the meaning of Abu Salama's hadith: "And He will raise his rank among the guided ones"?

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah forgive you, regarding the categories of intercession for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), it is mentioned in some of the categories that he will intercede for the believers so that their ranks in Paradise are the highest. What is the evidence for this?

The Shaykh : Yes. This is what I mentioned in the original text, and there are other things I did not mention. We mentioned the most important thing, which is the Great Intercession and the intercession that the Mu'tazilah and the Khawarij denied.

The questioner : And what is the evidence?

The Shaykh : In the story of Abu Salama, this is intercession; it is intercession for him so that his rank is raised. The time is up.
The reader: "And it is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).
And we believe in Paradise and the Fire. So Paradise is the abode of bliss that Allah the Exalted has prepared for the believing, the God-fearing .

The Shaykh : O Allah, make us among them.
The reader: "In it is bliss that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has ever conceived

And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do.

فلا تعلم نفس ما أخفي لهم من قرة أعين جزاء بما كانوا يعملون

[As-Sajdah 32:17]

.
And the Fire is the abode of punishment that Allah the Exalted has prepared for the disbelieving, the wrongdoers. In it is punishment and torment that does not come to mind

Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.

إنا أعتدنا للظالمين نارا أحاط بهم سرادقها وإن يستغيثوا يغاثوا بماء كالمهل يشوي الوجوه بئس الشراب وساءت مرتفقا

[Al-Kahf 18:29]

.
And they both exist now, and they will not perish for eternity

And whoever believes in Allah and does righteousness - He will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow to abide therein forever. Allah will have perfected for him a provision.

ومن يؤمن بالله ويعمل صالحا يدخله جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها أبدا قد أحسن الله له رزقا

[At-Talaq 65:11]

⁽⁶⁴⁾ Indeed, Allah has cursed the disbelievers and prepared for them a Blaze. ⁽⁶⁵⁾ Abiding therein forever, they will not find a protector or a helper. ⁽⁶⁶⁾ The Day their faces will be turned about in the Fire, they will say, "How we wish we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Messenger."

إن الله لعن الكافرين وأعد لهم سعيرا * خالدين فيها أبدا لا يجدون وليا ولا نصيرا * يوم تقلب وجوههم في النار يقولون يا ليتنا أطعنا الله وأطعنا الرسولا

[Al-Ahzab 33:64-66]
