Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) recited the verse of the Holy Qur'an about the Gardens of Eden from the pulpit and said: Do you know what the Gardens of Eden are? He said: It is a palace in Paradise which has five thousand doors, and at each door there are twenty-five thousand houris. Only prophets will enter it; glad tidings for the one in this grave, and he (may Allah be pleased with him) pointed towards the blessed grave of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And the Siddiq will enter it; glad tidings for Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). And the martyrs will enter it, and indeed I am awaiting martyrdom. "And how will Umar attain martyrdom?" Then he said: By the One Who took me out of my house, He is capable of bringing this martyrdom to me.
