I was with the Prophet ﷺ, and I believe he said it was in a garden. A man came and gave the greeting of peace.The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go, grant him permission to enter, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise."I went, and there was Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. I said, "Come in, and rejoice at the news of Paradise."He kept praising Allah until he sat down.Then another man came and gave the greeting of peace. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Grant him permission to enter, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise."I went, and there was Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him. I said, "Come in, and rejoice at the news of Paradise."He kept praising Allah
until he sat down.Then another man came and gave the greeting of peace. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go, grant him permission to enter, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise, along with a severe trial that will befall him."I went, and there was Uthman. I said, "Come in, and rejoice at the news of Paradise, along with a severe trial that will befall you."He began saying, "O Allah, grant me patience," until he sat down.
