What hadith mentions the ten companions (al-'Ashara al-Mubashara) in Jannah?
Several hadiths mention the ten companions who were given the glad tidings of Paradise, known as al-'Ashara al-Mubashara. One such narration from Sunan al-Tirmidhi states that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I bear witness concerning the nine that they are in Paradise; and if I were to bear witness regarding the tenth, I would not sin. When we were with the Messenger of Allah at Hira’, he said, ‘Stay at Hira'; there is upon you only a prophet, a truthful one, or a martyr.’ They asked, ‘Who are they?’ He said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Al-Zubair, Sa’d, and Abd al-Rahman bin Awf.’ They said, ‘Who is the tenth?’ He said, ‘I am.’
Sunan al-Tirmidhi 49:154.
Additionally, another narration from Sunan Ibn Majah confirms this as well: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was among ten men. Abu Bakr said, 'In Paradise,' Umar said, 'In Paradise,' Uthman said, 'In Paradise,' Ali said, 'In Paradise,' Talha said, 'In Paradise,' Al-Zubair said, 'In Paradise,' Sa'd said, 'In Paradise,' Abdul Rahman said, 'In Paradise.' When asked who was the ninth, he said, 'I am.'
Sunan Ibn Majah 1:133.
These narrations highlight the esteemed status of these companions in the eyes of the Prophet ﷺ and confirm their place in Paradise.
