Hadith 15162

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ , عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : مَشَيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ , فَذَبَحَتْ لَنَا شَاةً , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَيَدْخُلَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " ، فَدَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ , فَقَالَ : " لَيَدْخُلَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " ، فَدَخَلَ عُمَرُ , فَقَالَ : " لَيَدْخُلَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ " , فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ شِئْتَ , فَاجْعَلْهُ عَلِيًّا " ، فَدَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ ، ثُمَّ أُتِينَا بِطَعَامٍ , فَأَكَلْنَا , فَقُمْنَا إِلَى صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ , وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا , ثُمَّ أُتِينَا بِبَقِيَّةِ الطَّعَامِ , ثُمَّ قُمْنَا إِلَى الْعَصْرِ , وَمَا مَسَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا مَاءً .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were attending a meal invitation with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the house of an Ansari woman, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon a man from Paradise will come to you." After a short while, Sayyiduna Siddiq Akbar (Abu Bakr) arrived. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon another man from Paradise will come to you." After a little while, Sayyiduna Umar arrived. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: "Soon another man from Paradise will come to you," and he said: "O Allah, if You will, let the one who comes be Ali." Accordingly, Sayyiduna Ali came. Then food was brought, which we ate. Then we stood up for the Zuhr prayer, and none of us performed ablution. After the prayer, the remaining food was brought. Then we stood up for the Asr prayer, and none of us even touched water.
