[Machine] I bear witness that I testify for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with what my ears have heard and my heart has preserved, and I have never lied about him. Whenever someone asked me about him when I met him, he would say, "Abu Bakr is in Paradise, Umar is in Paradise, Ali is in Paradise, Uthman is in Paradise, Talha is in Paradise, Zubayr is in Paradise, Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf is in Paradise, and Sa'd ibn Malik is in Paradise." And if I wanted to name the ninth, I would have named myself. The residents of the mosque would call out to him, "O companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who is the ninth?" He would respond, "You call upon me by Allah the Almighty, I am the ninth of the believers, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is the tenth."
أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمَا سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَرْوِيَ عَلَيْهِ كَذِبًا يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْهُ إِذَا لَقِيتُهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعُمَرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعَلِيٌّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعُثْمَانُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَطَلْحَةُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَالزُّبَيْرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَسَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» وَتَاسِعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أُسَمِّيَهُ لَسَمَّيْتُهُ فَرَجَّ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ يُنَاشِدُونَهُ يَا صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَنِ التَّاسِعُ؟ قَالَ «نَاشَدْتُمُونِي بِاللهِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنَا تَاسِعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَاشِرُ»
