حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّمَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ الْحُرِّ بْنِ الصَّيَّاحِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَذَكَرَ رَجُلٌ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام ، فَقَامَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : " عَشْرَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ : النَّبِيُّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَعُمَرُ ، فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَعُثْمَانُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَعَلِيٌّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَطَلْحَةُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَسَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَوْ شِئْتَ لَسَمَّيْتُ الْعَاشِرَ ، قَالَ : فَقَالُوا : مَنْ هُوَ ؟ فَسَكَتَ ، قَالَ : فَقَالُوا : مَنْ هُوَ ؟ فَقَالَ : هُوَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ".
Narrated Saeed ibn Zayd: Abdur Rahman ibn al-Akhnas said that when he was in the mosque, a man mentioned Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). So Saeed ibn Zayd got up and said: I bear witness to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I heard him say: Ten persons will go to Paradise: The Prophet ﷺ will go to Paradise, Abu Bakr will go to Paradise, Umar will go to Paradise, Uthman will go to Paradise, Ali will go to Paradise, Talhah will go to Paradise: az-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam will go to paradise, Saad ibn Malik will go to Paradise, and Abdur Rahman ibn Awf will go to Paradise. If I wish, I can mention the tenth. The People asked: Who is he: So he kept silence. The again asked: Who is he: He replied: He is Saeed ibn Zayd.

Benefits and Issues:
Apart from these narrations, there are many other narrations on this subject present in the books of Sunnah, while in the Book of Allah as well, the praise and commendation of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) has been explicitly mentioned. For example: (And the first forerunners among the Muhajirun and the Ansar and those who followed them with good conduct—Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.) (: al-Tawbah: 100) Those Muhajirun and Ansar who were foremost (in embracing faith), and those who followed them in the best manner—Allah is pleased with all of them, and they are pleased with Him. Allah has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow; they will abide therein forever. That is the great success.
And (But the Messenger and those who believed with him fought with their wealth and their lives. Those will have the good things, and it is those who are the successful. Allah has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great attainment.) (: al-Tawbah: 88-89) But the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and those who believed with him strove with their wealth and their lives; for them are all good things, and they are the successful ones. Allah has prepared for them gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever. That is the great success.
And in Surah al-Fath: (Certainly Allah was pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to you under the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquility upon them and rewarded them with a near victory.) (: al-Fath: 18) Indeed, Allah was pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to you under the tree; He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquility upon them and rewarded them with a near victory.
The discord that occurred among the Companions in later times happened due to their ijtihad (independent reasoning) under human limitations. Allah, the Exalted, is Forgiving towards them.
Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jama‘ah absolutely do not consider it permissible to make these matters a subject of public discussion.

Commentary:
(1)
In this hadith, the glad tidings of Paradise are given regarding nine individuals.
Along with them, the tenth companion is Abu Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah radi Allahu anhu.
These ten personalities are called the ‘Asharah Mubasharah’.
That is, those ten noble companions whom the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave the glad tidings of Paradise.
These ten personalities are superior to all other companions.
On some other occasions, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also gave the glad tidings of Paradise to some other individuals, but their status is not equal to that of the ‘Asharah Mubasharah’.
(2)
Saeed ibn Zayd radi Allahu anhu, out of humility, did not mention his own name.
When he was asked, then he had to mention it.
