Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari Narrated from:
I Went With The Prophet (ﷺ) And He Entered A Garden Of The Ansar, And He Relieved Himself. He Said To Me: 'O Abu Musa! 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: 'Abu Bakr.' So I Said: 'O Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ)! It Is Abu 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 Allah (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: ''Uthman.' I Said: 'O Messenger Of Allah! It Is 'Uthman Asking Permission.' He Said: 'Open It For Him, And Give Him The Glad Tidings Of Paradise Due To A Calamity That Will Befall Him.'"

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3710
This Hadith about Uthman’s glad tidings of Paradise is narrated by Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم entered a garden of the Ansar and told Abu Musa to guard the gate and let no one enter except with permission. Abu Bakr came first, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told Abu Musa to give him permission and glad tidings of Paradise. Then Umar came, and he received the same glad tidings. Then Uthman came, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to open the gate for him and give him glad tidings of Paradise due to a calamity that would befall him. The Hadith honors all three and also points to a hardship that Uthman would face.
