that Sa'eed bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail said: "I bear witness for nine people, that they are in Paradise, and if I were to bear witness for a tenth, I would not be sinful." It was said: "How is that?" He said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at (mount) Hira when he said, 'Be firm, Hira! There is not upon you any but a Prophet, or a Siddiq, or a martyr." It was said: "And who were they?" He said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, 'Ali, Talhah, Az-Zubair, Sa'd, and 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf." It was said: "And who is the tenth?" He said: "Me."  

أَشْهَدُ عَلَى التِّسْعَةِ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَوْ شَهِدْتُ عَلَى الْعَاشِرِ لَمْ آثَمْ قِيلَ وَكَيْفَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِحِرَاءَ فَقَالَ اثْبُتْ حِرَاءُ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ إِلاَّ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ قِيلَ وَمَنْ هُمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَسَعْدٌ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ قِيلَ فَمَنِ الْعَاشِرُ قَالَ أَنَا  

[Machine] "Do you not see this unjust man who commands the cursing of a man from the people of Paradise? So I bear witness on behalf of the nine that they are in Paradise, and if I were to bear witness on behalf of the tenth, I would not be wrong. He said, "I asked, 'And who are they?' He said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ , Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Zubayr, Talha, Abdur-Rahman bin Auf, and Saad bin Malik.' He then remained silent. I said, 'And who is the tenth?' He said, 'It is me.'"  

لَمَّا خَرَجَ مُعَاوِيَةُ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ اسْتَعْمَلَ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ فَأَقَامَ خُطَبَاءَ يَقَعُونَ فِي عَلِيٍّ قَالَ وَأَنَا إِلَى جَنْبِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ فَقَامَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَلا تَرَى إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الظَّالِمِ لِنَفْسِهِ الَّذِي يَأْمُرُ بِلَعْنِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ فَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى التِّسْعَةِ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَوْ شَهِدْتُ عَلَى الْعَاشِرِ لَمْ آثَمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اثْبُتْ حِرَاءُ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ إِلا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنْ هُمْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَطَلْحَةُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَسَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَنِ العَاشِرُ؟ قَالَ قَالَ أَنَا

خُطَبَاءُ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ عَلِيًّا ؓ وَفِي الدَّارِ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَقَالَ أَلَا تَرَى هَذَا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي أَرَى يَلْعَنُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى التِّسْعَةِ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَوْ شَهِدْتُ عَلَى الْعَاشِرِ لَمْ آثَمُ فَقُلْتُ مَنِ التِّسْعَةُ؟ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى حِرَاءٍ فَقَالَ «اثْبُتْ حِرَاءُ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ نَبِيًّا وَصَدِّيقًا وَشَهِيدًا» قُلْتُ مَنْ هُمْ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَسَعْدٌ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ قُلْتُ مَنِ الْعَاشِرُ؟ فَتَفَكَّرَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنَا  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was on Mount Hira and he moved and struck with his foot and said, "Be calm, Hira, for there is none upon you but a Prophet or a Siddiq or a martyr." And these people were with him: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubair, Saad, Abdur Rahman ibn Awf, and myself, meaning himself.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى حِرَاءٍ فَتَحَرَّكَ فَضَرَبَ بِرِجْلِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اسْكُنْ حِرَاءُ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ» وَهَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ مَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَسَعْدٌ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَأَنَا يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on Mount Hira and the mountain began to shake. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Stay firm, O Hira, for there is nothing upon you but a prophet, a truthful one or a martyr." With him were the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubayr, Abdul Rahman ibn Awf, Saad, and Sa'id ibn Zaid ibn Amr ibn Nufayl.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى حِرَاءَ فَتَزَلْزَلَ الْجَبَلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اثْبُتْ يَا حِرَاءُ فَمَا عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ» وَعَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَسَعْدٌ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Establish prayer for the sake of Allah, for there is no obligation upon you except a Prophet or a truthful person or a martyr.' Upon him are the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr and Umar and Uthman and Ali and Talhah and Zubayr and Abdur-Rahman bin Awf and Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas and me."  

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اثْبُتْ حِرَاءُ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ» وَعَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَسَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ وَأنا  

[Machine] Saeed ibn Zaid bears witness to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying: "Establish Hira, for there is no one upon whom it is incumbent except a prophet, a truthful person, or a martyr." The Prophet, ﷺ , mentioned Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubair, Saad, Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf, Saeed ibn Zaid, and Hilal ibn Yasaf, who did not hear it from Abdullah ibn Zalim.  

سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «اثْبُتْ حِرَاءُ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ» وَعَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَسَعْدُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ هِلَالُ بْنُ يَسَافٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ ظَالِمٍ  

[Machine] When Muawiya arrived in Kufa, Al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba appointed orators to criticize Ali. Sa'id ibn Zayd took my hand and said, "Do you not see this oppressor commanding the curse of a man from the people of Paradise? I testify about the nine that they are in Paradise, and if I were to testify about the tenth, I would say who the nine are." He said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on Mount Hira and said, "Be firm, for upon you are none but a Prophet, a truthful one, or a martyr." [Sa'id] said, "And who are the nine?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubair, Sa'd, Abd al-Rahman." [Sa'id] asked, "And who is the tenth?" He said, "I am."  

لَمَّا قَدِمَ مُعَاوِيَةُ الْكُوفَةَ أَقَامَ مُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ خُطَبَاءَ يَتَنَاوَلُونَ عَلِيًّا فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي سَعِيدَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تَرَى هَذَا الظَّالِمَ الَّذِي يَأْمُرُ بِلَعْنِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى التِّسْعَةِ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَوْ شَهِدْتُ عَلَى الْعَاشِرِ قُلْتُ مَنِ التِّسْعَةُ» قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى حِرَاءٍ «اثْبُتْ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ» قَالَ وَمَنِ التِّسْعَةُ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَسَعْدٌ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ» قُلْتُ مَنِ الْعَاشِرُ قَالَ «أَنَا»  

"عَن سَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيدِ بنِ عَمرْوِ بن نوفل قَالَ: أَشْهَدُ عَلَى التِّسْعَةِ أَنَّهُمْ فِى الْجَنَّةِ، وَلَوْ شَهِدْتُ عَلَى العَاشِر لَم آثَم، قِيلَ: وكيَفَ ذاكَ؟ قَالَ: كُنَّا معَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ بِحِرَاءٍ فَتَحرَّكَ فَضَرَبَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ، وَفِى لَفْظٍ بِكَفِّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: اثْبُتْ حِرَاءُ فإنَّهُ ليَس عَلَيْكَ إلَّا نَبِىٌ أوْ صِدِّيقٌ أَوْ شَهِيدٌ قِيلَ: وَمَنْ هُمْ؟ قَالَ: رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرُ، وَعُثْمانُ، وَعَلِىٌّ، وَطلْحَةُ، والزُّبَيرُ، وَسَعْدٌ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَن بن عَوْفٍ، قِيلَ: فَمَنِ الْعَاشِرُ؟ قَالَ: أنَا".
