The Companions of the Prophet whom he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the glad tidings of entering Paradise, they are many but ten of them are mentioned in one hadith. These ten companions are:
العشرة المبشرين بالجنة الذين ذكرهم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في حديث واحد وفي سياق واحد: “أبو بكر في الجنة وعمر في الجنة وعلي في الجنة وعثمان في الجنة وطلحة في الجنة والزبير في الجنة وعبد الرحمن بن عوف في الجنة وسعد بن أبي وقاص في الجنة وسعيد بن زيد في الجنة وأبو عبيدة بن الجراح في الجنة”. رواه الإمام أحمد في مسنده
Abu Bakr, ^Umar ibn al-Khattaab, ^Uthman ibn ^Affaan, ^Ali ibn Abi Talib, Az-Zubayr ibn al- ^Awwam, ^Abdur-Rahman ibn ^Awf, Sa^d ibn Abi Waqqas, Sa^id ibn Zayd, Talhah ibn ^Ubaydillah, and Abu ^Ubaydah ibn al-Jarraah (may Allah accept their good deeds).
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Abu Bakr will be in Paradise, ^Umar will be in Paradise, ^Uthman will be in Paradise, ^Ali will be in Paradise, Talhah will be in Paradise, Al-Zubayr will be in Paradise, ^Abdul-Rahman ibn ^Awf will be in Paradise, Sa^d ibn Abi Waqqas will be in Paradise, Sa^id ibn Zayd will be in Paradise and Abu ^Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah will be in Paradise.”.
And the best of the companions (after all the Prophets) comes in rank our master Abu Bakr as-Siddiq Radiallahu ^Anhu. And the best of woman kind is ladey Mariam the mother of Jesus peace be upon him.
We ask Allah to gather us with the Prophets and companions in Paradise, ameen and Allah knows best.
