Hadith 8
It is narrated on the authority of Yahya bin Ya'mur and Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman that they said: We met 'Abdullah bin 'Umar and we discussed about the Divine Decree, and what they talked about it and he narrated the hadith that has been transmitted by 'Umar (RA) from the Apostle (ﷺ) . There is a slight variation in that.
Hadith 2403
حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ
عُثْمَانَ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ ، عَنْ
أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ، قَالَ : " بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَائِطٍ مِنْ حَائِطِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ ، يَرْكُزُ بِعُودٍ مَعَهُ بَيْنَ الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ ، إِذَا اسْتَفْتَحَ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : افْتَحْ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ ، قَالَ : فَإِذَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَفَتَحْتُ لَهُ وَبَشَّرْتُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَحَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ ، فَقَالَ : افْتَحْ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ ، قَالَ : فَذَهَبْتُ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ عُمَرُ ، فَفَتَحْتُ لَهُ وَبَشَّرْتُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَحَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ ، قَالَ : فَجَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : افْتَحْ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ عَلَى بَلْوَى تَكُونُ ، قَالَ : فَذَهَبْتُ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ، قَالَ : فَفَتَحْتُ وَبَشَّرْتُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ ، قَالَ : وَقُلْتُ : الَّذِي قَالَ : فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ صَبْرًا أَوِ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ " .
Abu Musa al-Ash'ari reported that while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in one of the gardens of Madinah, reclining against a pillow and fixing a stick in a mud, that a person came asking for the gate to be opened, whereupon he said: Open it for him and give him glad tidings of Paradise and, lo, it was Abu Bakr. I opened (the gate) for him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then another person asked for the door to be opened, whereupon he said: Open it and give him the glad tidings of Piradise. He said: I went away and, lo, it was 'Umar. I opened it for him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then still another man asked for the door to be opened, and thereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Open it and give him the glad tidings of Paradise after a trial would afflict him. I went and, lo, it was 'Uthman bin 'Affan. 1 opened the door and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise and informed him (what the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) had said). Thereupon he said: O Allah, grant me steadfastness. Allah is one Whose help is to be sought.
Hadith 2704
Abu Musa Ash'ari reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: Should I not direct you to the words from the treasures of Paradise, or he said: Like a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? I said: Of course, do that. Thereupon he said: "There is no might and no power but that of Allah."
