أَبِي مُوسَى ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " دَخَلَ حَائِطًا وَأَمَرَنِي بِحِفْظِ الْبَابِ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُ ، فَقَالَ : ائْذَنْ لَهُ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ ، فَإِذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ ، فَقَالَ : ائْذَنْ لَهُ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ ، فَقَالَ : ائْذَنْ لَهُ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ " .
Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet entered a garden and told me to guard its gate. Then a man came and asked permission to enter. The Prophet, said, "Permit him and give him the good news that he will enter Paradise." Behold! It was Abu Bakr. Then `Umar came, and the Prophet said, "Admit him and give him the good news that he will enter Paradise." Then `Uthman came and the Prophet said, "Admit him and give him the good news that he will enter Paradise. "
