It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped at a place called al-Aswaf, and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) let both his legs hang down into a well and uncovered his thighs. Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came and asked permission to enter, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bilal, give him permission and also give him the glad tidings of Paradise." So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) entered, sat on the right side of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), let his legs hang down into the well and uncovered his thighs. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and asked permission, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bilal, give him permission and give him the glad tidings of Paradise." He entered and sat on the left side of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), let his legs hang down into the well and uncovered his thighs. Then Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came and asked permission, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bilal, give him permission and give him the glad tidings of Paradise, along with a trial that will befall him." So Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) entered and sat facing the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), let his legs hang down into the well and uncovered his thighs.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Sharik bin Abdullah bin Abi Namir, from Ata' bin Yasar, from Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him), except al-Darawardi, and Abu Mus'ab is alone in narrating it."
