وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَرَانِي بَابَ الْجَنَّةِ الَّذِي يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ أُمَّتِي» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مَعَكَ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَا إِنَّكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ

Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, “Gabriel came, and taking me by the hand showed me the gate of paradise by which my people will enter.” Abu Bakr then said, “Messenger of God, I wish I had been with you so that I might have looked at it to which God’s messenger replied, “You, Abu Bakr, will be the first of my people to enter paradise.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
