Respect those with higher ranks than you; strive to become better Muslims through emulation; practice piety and devotion towards Islam; follow examples set by exemplary figures such as Abu Bakr, Umar & Uthman etc..

This hadith speaks about the excellence and ranking of three companions of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. These companions are Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman. They were known to be some of the most excellent members in the community after Prophet Muhammad himself. They were highly respected for their knowledge, wisdom, piety and devotion to Islam. The hadith also teaches us that we should respect those who have been given a higher rank than us by Allah or His Messenger as it is an act that pleases Allah. We should also strive to become better Muslims by following their example so that we can attain a higher rank in this life and hereafter.
