Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting in a garden in Madinah, reclining, and he was stirring the water and soil with a stick. In the meantime, a man came and asked for the door to be opened. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Open the door for him and give him glad tidings of Paradise. So he was Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). I opened the door for him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then another man came and asked for the door to be opened. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Open the door for him and give him glad tidings of Paradise. So he was Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). I opened the door for him and gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then another man came and asked for the door to be opened. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained seated for a while, then he said: Open the door for him and give him glad tidings of Paradise, but he will face a trial. The narrator says: I opened the door for him, and he was Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him). I gave him the glad tidings of Paradise and informed him of what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said. So he said: O Allah, I ask You for patience (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words), and only Allah's help can be sought.
