I was with the Prophet ﷺ in one of the gardens of Madinah when a man came and asked to be let in.The Prophet ﷺ said, "Open the gate for him and give him the good news of Paradise."I opened it, and there was Abu Bakr. I gave him the good news the Prophet ﷺ had announced, and he praised Allah.Then another man came and asked to be let in. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Open the gate for him and give him the good news of Paradise."I opened it, and there was Umar. I told him what the Prophet ﷺ had said, and he praised Allah.Then another man asked to be let in. The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "Open the gate for him and give him the good news of Paradise, along with a trial that will befall him."I opened it, and there was Uthman. I told him what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said. He praised Allah, then said, "Allah is the One whose help is sought."

كنت مع النبي ﷺ في حائط من حيطان المدينة فجاء رجل فاستفتح فقال النبي ﷺ افتح له وبشره بالجنة ففتحت له فإذا أبو بكر فبشرته بما قال النبي ﷺ فحمد الله ثم جاء رجل فاستفتح فقال النبي ﷺ افتح له وبشره بالجنة ففتحت له فإذا هو عمر فأخبرته بما قال النبي ﷺ فحمد الله ثم استفتح رجل فقال لي افتح له وبشره بالجنة على بلوى تصيبه فإذا عثمان فأخبرته بما قال رسول الله ﷺ فحمد الله ثم قال الله المستعان
