Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Adab - 4th Jumada-ul-Awwal 1422 (26 July 2001) Narrated by Abu Musa (Radhiallaho anho): That he was in the company of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) in one of the gardens of Medina and in the hand of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) there was a stick, and he was striking (slowly) the water and the mud with it. A man came (at the gate of the garden) and asked permission to enter. The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise." I went, and behold! It was Abu Bakr. So I opened the gate for him and informed him of the glad tidings of entering Paradise. Then another man came and asked permission to enter. The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise." Behold! It was 'Umar. So I opened the gate for him and gave him the glad tidings of entering Paradise. Then another man came and asked permission to enter. The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) was sitting in a leaning posture, so he (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) sat up and said, "Open the gate for him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise with a calamity which will befall him or which will take place." I went, and behold! It was Uthman. So I opened the gate for him and gave him the glad tidings of entering Paradise and also informed him of what the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) had said (about a calamity). 'Uthman said, "Allah Alone Whose Help I seek (against that calamity)." Bukhari Vol. 8 : No. 235 -- You are subscribed as [email protected] Tell others about AHAD - A Hadith A Day!
