Al-Adab Al-Mufrad — Hadith #47467

Musaddad told us, he said: Yahya told us, on the authority of Uthman bin Ghayath, he said: Abu Uthman told us, on the authority of Abu Musa, that he was with the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. In one of the walls of the city, and in the hand of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, a stick with which to beat made of water and clay, then a man came. He opened, and the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: Open for him, and give him good tidings of Paradise. So he went, and behold, Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, so I opened for him. And I gave him good tidings of Paradise. Then another man opened, and said: Open for him, and give him good tidings of Paradise. Then, Omar, may God be pleased with him, opened. for him, and I gave him good tidings of Paradise. Then another man, who was reclining, opened the door and sat down, and said: Open for him, and give him good tidings of Paradise despite his calamity. It will befall him, or it will be. So I went and saw Uthman. I opened the door for him and told him what he said. He said: God is the one who seeks help.
