    وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَائِطٍ مِنْ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاسْتَفْتَحَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «افْتَحْ لَهُ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ» فَفَتَحْتُ لَهُ فَإِذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَبَشَّرْتُهُ بِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَاسْتَفْتَحَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «افْتَحْ لَهُ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ» . فَفَتَحْتُ لَهُ فَإِذا هُوَ عُمَرُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَحَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لِي: «افْتَحْ لَهُ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ عَلَى بَلْوَى تُصِيبُهُ» فَإِذَا عُثْمَانُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثمَّ قَالَ: الله الْمُسْتَعَان. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ

    Abu Musa al-Ash’ari said: When I was with the Prophet in one of the gardens of Medina and a man came asking that the gate be opened, the Prophet said, “Open it for him and give him good news of paradise.” I opened the gate for him and found He was Abu Bakr, and when I told him the good news God’s messenger had given me, he praised God. Another man came and asked that the gate be opened, and the Prophet said, “Open it for him and give him good news of paradise.” I opened the gate for him and found he was `Umar, and when I informed him for what the Prophet had said he praised God. Another man asked that the gate be opened, and he said, “Open it for him and give him good news of paradise after a trial which will afflict them.” I found he was `Uthman, and when I informed him of what the Prophet had said he praised God and then said, “God is the One whose help is sought.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

Abu Dawud transmitted it.

    `A’isha said: God’s messenger was lying in his house with his thighs, or his legs, uncovered when Abu Bakr asked permission to enter and he gave him permission while he was in that condition and he conversed. `Umar asked permission to enter and he gave him permission while he was like that and he conversed. Then `Uthman asked permission to enter and God’s messenger sat up and arranged his clothing. When he went out ‘A’isha said, “Abu Bakr entered and you did not stir for him or worry about him; then `Umar entered and you did not stir for him or worry about him; then `Uthman entered and you sat up and arranged your clothing.” He replied, “Shall I not be modest with one towards whom the angels are modest?” In a version he said, “‘Uthman is a modest man, and I was afraid that if I allowed him to enter when I was in that state, he might not tell me what he wanted.” Muslim transmitted it.

Tirmidhi said this is a gharib tradition whose isnad is not strong, and is broken.

Tirmidhi transmitted it.

    وَعَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ: «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ هَذِهِ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا رَجُلًا يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهَ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» . فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ غَدَوْا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كلهم يَرْجُو أَنْ يُعْطَاهَا فَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ؟» فَقَالُوا: هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَشْتَكِي عَيْنَيْهِ. قَالَ: «فَأَرْسِلُوا إِلَيْهِ» . فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَبَصَقَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ فَبَرَأَ حَتَّى كَأَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ وَجَعٌ فَأَعْطَاهُ الرَّايَةَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: يَا رَسُولَ الله أقاتلهم حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مثلنَا؟ فَقَالَ: «انْفُذْ عَلَى رِسْلِكَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ بِمَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ حَقِّ اللَّهِ فِيهِ فَوَاللَّهِ لَأَنْ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ بِكَ رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ وَذكر حَدِيث الْبَراء قَالَ لعَلي: «أَنْت مني وَأَنا مِنْك» فِي بَاب «بُلُوغ الصَّغِير»

    Sahl b. Sa’d told that God’s messenger said on the day of Khaibar, “I shall certainly give this standard tomorrow to a man who loves God and His messenger and is loved by God and His messenger, at whose hands God will give victory.” In the morning the people came to God’s messenger each hoping he would be given it, but he asked, “Where is `Ali b. Abu Talib?” On being informed that he was suffering from eye trouble he told them to send for him, and when he was brought God’s messenger spat in his eyes and he recovered, so that it seemed as if nothing had been wrong with him. He then gave him the standard, and he said, “Messenger of God, I shall fight with them till they are like us.” He then said, “Go gently till you come to their outskirts, then invite them to accept Islam and inform them of the demands due to God which it will involve for them. I swear by God it will be better for you that God should give guidance to one man through your agency than that you should acquire the red ones among the camels[*].” *This phrase indicates camels of the most valuable breed, and is also used figuratively of anything which is valuable. (Bukhari and Muslim.) The tradition of al-Bara’ in which he said to `Ali, “You pertain to me and I pertain to you,” has been mentioned in the chapter on young people attaining puberty.

    Al-Miswar b. Makhrama said: When `Umar was stabbed he began to suffer, and Ibn `Abbas who seemed to be trying to console him said, “Do not worry about all that. You were a good companion to God’s messenger and when he left you, he was pleased with you; you were a good companion to Abu Bakr and when he left you, he was pleased with you; you have been a good companion to the Muslims and if you leave them, you will do so when they are pleased with you.” He replied, “As for what you have mentioned about my companionship with God’s messenger and his good pleasure, that was simply a favour from God which He bestowed on me; as for what you have mentioned about my companionship with Abu Bakr and his good pleasure, that was simply a favour from God which He bestowed on me; but as for my anxiety which you see, it is on account of you and your companions. I swear by God that if I had as much gold as would fill the earth, I would ransom myself with it from God’s punishment before seeing Him.” Bukhari transmitted.
