حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى أَبُو الْمُثَنَّى النَّخَعِيُّ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، رِيَاحِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ سَمِعَ جَدَّهُ، سَعِيدَ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَاشِرَ عَشَرَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعُمَرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعُثْمَانُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعَلِيٌّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَطَلْحَةُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَالزُّبَيْرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَسَعْدٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَنِ التَّاسِعُ قَالَ أَنَا ‏.‏

Hisham ibn 'Ammar narrated to us; 'Isa ibn Yunus narrated to us; Sadaqah ibn al-Muthanna Abu al-Muthanna al-Nakha'i narrated to us, from his grandfather Riyah ibn al-Harith, who heard his grandfather Sa'id ibn Zayd ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was the tenth of ten. He said: Abu Bakr is in Paradise; 'Umar is in Paradise; 'Uthman is in Paradise; 'Ali is in Paradise; Talhah is in Paradise; al-Zubayr is in Paradise; Sa'd is in Paradise; and 'Abd al-Rahman is in Paradise. He was asked: Who is the ninth? He said: I am.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic says the Messenger was “the tenth of ten” and lists Abd al-Rahman without Ibn Awf; the English witness paraphrases this as one of the Ten promised Paradise and supplies Ibn Awf.
