On the authority of Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari, may God be pleased with him, that he performed ablution in his house, then he went out and said: “For the time being, the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and I will be with him this day.” So he came to the mosque and asked about the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and they said: He is here. He said: So I went out after him to ask about him, until he entered Aris Well, so I sat at the door until the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, finished. He fulfilled his needs and performed ablution, so I stood up to him, and he was sitting on my lap Aris Well, and he stood in the middle of it, revealing his legs and lowering them into the well. I greeted him and then left. I sat at the door and said: I will be the doorman of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, today. Then Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, came and pushed the door. I said: Who is this? He said: Abu Bakr, so I said to your messengers, then I went and said: O Messenger of God, this is Abu Bakr asking permission. He said: “Admit him and give him good news of Paradise.” So I turned until I said to Abu Bakr: Enter and the Messenger of God gives you good news of Paradise, so Abu Bakr entered until he sat to the right of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, with him in the stand, and he lowered his feet into the well as the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, did, and uncovered his legs. Then I came back and sat down, and I left my brother to perform ablution and follow me, so I said: If God repays so-and-so - repays his brother - with goodness, He will bring it, and then a person moved the door, so I said: Who? This? He said: Omar bin Al-Khattab: So I said: On your messengers, then I came to the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, and I greeted him and said: Is this Omar asking for permission?

So he entered and sat with the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, standing on his left, and dangled his feet into the well. Then I came back and sat.
