3710. Abū Mūsā Al-Ash'arī said: "I went with the Prophet ﷺ and he entered a garden of the Anṣār, and he relieved himself. He said to me: 'O Abū Mūsā! Watch the gate for me, and do not let anyone enter except with permission.' Then a man came and knocked at the gate, so I said: 'Who is it?' He said: 'Abū Bakr.' So I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ! It is Abū Bakr asking permission?' He said: 'Give him permission and give him the glad tidings of Paradise.' So he entered, and I gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Another man came and knocked at the gate. I said: 'Who is it?' He said: "'Umar.' So I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ! It is 'Umar asking permission?' He said: 'Open it for him, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise.' I opened [the gate], he entered, and I gave him the glad tidings of Paradise. Then another man knocked at the gate. I said: 'Who is it?' So he said: "'Uthmān.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! It is 'Uthmān asking permission.' He said: 'Open it for him, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise due to
a calamity that will befall him.” (Sahih)

Commentary
As the Prophet ﷺ had predicted, ‘Uthmān ؓ had to face trials and troubles. These three persons will surely enter Paradise.
