Hadith text

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:The Prophet (ﷺ) went out to one of the gardens of Medina for some business and I went out to follow him. When he entered the garden, I sat at its gate and said to myself, "To day I will be the gatekeeper of the Prophet though he has not ordered me." The Prophet (ﷺ) went and finished his need and went to sit on the constructed edge of the well and uncovered his legs and hung them in the well. In the meantime Abu Bakr came and asked permission to enter. I said (to him), "Wait till I get you permission." Abu Bakr waited outside and I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Prophet! Abu Bakr asks your permission to enter." He said, "Admit him, and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise." So Abu Bakr entered and sat on the right side of the Prophet (ﷺ) and uncovered his legs and hung them in the well. Then `Umar came and I said (to him), "Wait till I get you permission." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Admit him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise." So `Umar entered and sat on the left side of the Prophet and uncovered his legs and hung them in the well so that one side of the well became fully occupied and there remained no place for any-one to sit. Then `Uthman came and I said (to him), "Wait till I get permission for you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Admit him and give him the glad tidings of entering Paradise with a calamity which will befall him." When he entered, he could not find any place to sit with them so he went to the other edge of the well opposite them and uncovered his legs and hung them in the well. I wished that a brother of mine would come, so I invoked Allah for his coming. (Ibn Al-Musaiyab said, "I interpreted that (narration) as indicating their graves. The first three are together and the grave of `Uthman is separate from theirs

Abu Musa Al-Ashari bataate hain: Nabi (SAW) Madina ke baagon mein se ek mein kisi kaam se gaye aur main unke peechhe gaya. Jab wo baag mein daakhil hue, main uske darwaaze par baitha aur khud se kaha, 'Aaj main Nabi (SAW) ka darwaan hounga, halaanke unhone mujhe aisa hukm nahi diya.' Nabi (SAW) gaye aur apni zaroorat poori ki aur kuen ki bani hui deewaar par baithne gaye aur apni taangein khol kar kuen mein latka diya. Isi dauraan Abu Bakr aaye aur andar aane ki ijaazat maangi. Maine (unse) kaha, 'Ruko jab tak main aapke liye ijaazat lein.' Abu Bakr baahar rahe aur main Nabi (SAW) ke paas gaya aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Nabi! Abu Bakr aapse andar aane ki ijaazat maangte hain.' Unhone kaha, 'Unhein andar aane do, aur unhein Jannat mein daakhil hone ki khush-khabri do.' To Abu Bakr andar aaye aur Nabi (SAW) ke daaen taraf baithe aur apni taangein khol kar kuen mein latka di. Phir Umar aaye aur maine (unse) kaha, 'Ruko jab tak main aapke liye ijaazat lein.' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Unhein andar aane do aur unhein Jannat mein daakhil hone ki khush-khabri do.' To Umar andar aaye aur Nabi ke baaen taraf baithe aur apni taangein khol kar kuen mein latka di, isliye kuen ki ek taraf poori tarah bhar gayi aur kisi ke baithne ki jagah nahi bachi. Phir Uthman aaye aur maine (unse) kaha, 'Ruko jab tak main aapke liye ijaazat lein.' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Unhein andar aane do aur unhein Jannat mein daakhil hone ki khush-khabri do saath ek museebat ke jo unpar aayegi.' Jab wo daakhil hue, unhein unke saath baithne ki jagah nahi mili, isliye wo kuen ke doosre kinaare unke saamne gaye aur apni taangein khol kar kuen mein latka di. Main chaahta tha mera koi bhai bhi aaye, isliye maine Allah se unke aane ki dua ki. (Ibn Al-Musaiyab ne kaha, 'Maine iski tashreeh unki qabron ke pratik ke taur par ki. Pehle teen ek saath hain, aur Uthman ki qabar unse alag hai.')
