Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34120 — Reports on Abu Bakr al-Siddiq

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the wife of a man from the Ansar. She spread out for him (peace and blessings be upon him) a mat made of palm bark and slaughtered a goat for us. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man will surely enter who is from the people of Paradise." Then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) entered. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man will surely enter who is from the people of Paradise." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) entered. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man will surely enter who is from the people of Paradise." Then he said: "O Allah, if You will, make this man Ali." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) entered.
