Is "Al-Waseelah" the highest rank in the uppermost Paradise of Firdaws, and has it been established that the people of Al-Baqi' will be resurrected with the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the land of resurrection?

Al-Firdaws is the highest and most noble of the Gardens, and its roof is the Throne of the Most Merciful. Al-Wasilah is the highest rank in Paradise, a special rank designated for the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and it is the closest rank to the Throne of the Most Merciful. Scholars have reconciled the hadiths that mention Al-Firdaws as the highest part of Paradise and those that mention Al-Wasilah as the highest part of Paradise by explaining that Al-Firdaws consists of various levels, and the highest of these levels is Al-Wasilah. As for what has been reported regarding the people of Al-Baqi' being resurrected with the Prophet, peace be upon him, it is a weak and denounced hadith, and it is not sound.
