This was narrated by Abu Dawud, Al-Tabarani, and Al-Hakim, and was authenticated by Al-Hakim and Al-Albani. It was graded (good) by Al-Nawawi and Ibn Hajar. The phrase "the uppermost assembly" refers to the highest assembly of angels, meaning, "make me among those gathered in the highest assembly of angels."
It is also possible that "the highest station" refers to an elevated rank and the station of al-wasila (intercession), or it could refer to the calling of the people of Paradise, while the lower calling is the calling of the people of Hellfire.
