[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man from the people of Paradise will appear before you from under this picture." Abu Bakr then appeared before them and congratulated him for what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said. Then he sat for a while and said, "A man from the people of Paradise will appear before you from under this picture." 'Umar then appeared and congratulated him for what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said. Then he said, "A man from the people of Paradise will appear before you from under this picture.
