Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I went with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the wife of an Ansari man. She spread a mat made of date-palm fibers for the Prophet (peace be upon him) and slaughtered a goat for us. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Surely, a man will enter who is among the people of Paradise." Then Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) entered. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Surely, a man will enter who is among the people of Paradise." Then Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) entered. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Surely, a man will enter who is among the people of Paradise." Then he said: "O Allah! If You will, let this man be Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)." Then Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) entered.
