709.
Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: One day, I performed my Wudu' in my house
and then set forth with the determination that I would stick to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and spend the whole day
with him. I came to the mosque and asked about him. The Companions told that he (PBUH) had gone in a certain
direction. Abu Musa added: I followed him inquiring until I came to Bi'r Aris (a well in the suburb of Al-Madinah).
(There) I sat down at the door till he (PBUH) had relieved himself and performed Wudu'. Then I went to him and
saw him sitting on the platform of the well with his shanks uncovered and his legs dangling in the well. I greeted
him and returned to the door of the garden, saying to myself,
"I
will be the doorkeeper of the Messenger of Allah
today.'' Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) came and knocked at the door. I said; "Who is that?'' He said:
"Abu Bakr.'' I said, "Wait a moment.'' Then I went to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and said, "O Messenger of
Allah! Abu Bakr is at the door seeking permission to enter.'' He said,
"Admit him and give him the glad tidings of
Jannah.''
I returned and said to Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him): "You may enter and Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) has given you the glad tidings of (entering) Jannah.'' Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) came in
and sat down on the right side of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and suspended his legs into the well and uncovered
his shanks, as the Messenger of Allah had done. I returned to the door and sat down. I had left my brother at home
while he was performing Wudu' and intending to join me. I said to myself: "If Allah intends good for him (i.e., to be
blessed to come at this time and receive the glad tidings of entering Jannah), He will bring him here.'' Someone
knocked at the door and I said, "Who is it?'' He said, "Umar bin Al-Khattab.'' I said, "Wait a moment.'' Then I
proceeded towards Messenger of Allah (PBUH). I greeted him and said, "Umar is at the door, seeking permission to
enter. He said,
"Let him in and give him the glad tidings of entering Jannah.''
I went back to `Umar (May Allah be
pleased with him) and said to him
,
"Messenger of Allah has given you permission as well as glad tidings of entering
Jannah.'' He entered and sat down with Messenger of Allah (PBUH) on his left side and dangled his feet into the
well. I returned to the door and sat down and said to myself: "If Allah intends good for my brother, He will bring
him here.'' Someone knocked at the door and I said, "Who is it?'' He said, "Uthman bin `Affan.'' I said, "Wait a
moment.'' I went to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and informed him about his arrival. He said,
"Let him in and give
him glad tidings of entering Jannah together with a tribulation which he will have to face.''
I came back to him and
said, "You may enter; and Messenger of Allah (PBUH) gives you the glad tidings of entering Jannah together with a
tribulation that will afflict you.'' He got in and saw that the elevated platform round the well was fully occupied. So
he sat on opposite side. Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab (May Allah be pleased with him) a subnarrator has reported: The
order in which they sat down indicated the places of their burial.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Another narration adds: Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (PBUH) ordered
me to guard the door. When `Uthman was told (about the misfortune) he praised Allah then said:
"Allahu Musta`an
(His help is to be sought).''
(The interpretation of Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab is that the graves of Abu Bakr and `Umar (May Allah be pleased with
them) are by the side of the Prophet (PBUH), in the same position they took when they sat next to the Prophet
(PBUH) while the grave of `Uthman is away from their graves, in the public graveyard of Al-Madinah known as
Baqi` Al-Gharqad).
Commentary:
This Hadith brings four points under our consideration. First, in certain cases, a glad tiding is given
about the future life. Second, the Prophet (PBUH) himself gave the good news to the first three Rightly-Guided
Khulafa'
(caliphs)
that they would go to Jannah. Now only an inborn wretch can doubt their Faith. Third, the riot
foretold by the Prophet (PBUH) with regard to `Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him) took place in the
concluding days of his caliphate. Influenced by the wicked and baseless propaganda of a Jew, `Abdullah bin Saba', a
splinter group blockaded `Uthman's house and finally put him to death. The incident reveals the Prophet's
truthfulness. Fourth, things are also interpreted while one is awake, and the power of intuition is of course the basis
