Abdullah bin Zalim says that when Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) departed from Kufa, he appointed Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) as the governor there. (Some people asked him for permission to deliver a speech.) He granted them permission, and those people stood up and began to speak disrespectfully about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). I was sitting beside Sayyiduna Sa’id bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him). He became angry, stood up, and said: “In your presence, a person of Paradise is being spoken ill of, and you are not stopping them! I bear witness that nine men will be in Paradise, and if I testify about the tenth, I will not be sinful.” I asked him for details, so he said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O Hira! Remain firm, for none is upon you except a Prophet, a Siddiq, or a martyr.” I asked for their names, so he said: The Prophet himself (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Umar, Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Uthman, Sayyiduna Talhah, Sayyiduna Zubair, Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf, and Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with them all). Then he fell silent. I asked about the tenth person, so he said: “That is me.”
