حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ مِسْمَارٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَهُ فِي، نَفَرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " عَشَرَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعُمَرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَعُثْمَانُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَالزُّبَيْرُ وَطَلْحَةُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ وَسَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ " . قَالَ فَعَدَّ هَؤُلاَءِ التِّسْعَةَ وَسَكَتَ عَنِ الْعَاشِرِ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ نَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ يَا أَبَا الأَعْوَرِ مَنِ الْعَاشِرُ قَالَ نَشَدْتُمُونِي بِاللَّهِ أَبُو الأَعْوَرِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ .أَبُو الأَعْوَرِ هُوَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ . وَسَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ هُوَ أَصَحُّ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ الأَوَّلِ .
Sa'eed bin Zaid Narrated from:
Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Humaid: From His Father, That Sa'Eed Bin Zaid Reported To Him, While In A Group Of People, That The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: "Ten Are In Paradise: Abu Bakr Is In Paradise, 'Umar Is In Paradise. 'Ali And 'Uthman Are In Paradise. Az-Zubair And Talhah, 'Abdur-Rahman, Abu 'Ubaidah And Sa'D Bin Abi Waqqas" - He Said: "So He Counted These Nine And Was Silent Concerning The Tenth - So The People Said: 'We Implore You By Allah, O Abu Al-A'War, Who Is The Tenth?' He Said: 'You Have Implored Me By Allah. Abu Al-A'War Is In Paradise.'"[Abu 'Eisa] Said: [Abu Al-A'War] He Is Sa'Eed Bin Zaid Bin 'Amr Bin Nufail. I Heard Muhammad Saying: "It Is More Correct Than The First Hadith."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3748
This Hadith about Sa'eed bin Zaid and the ten in Paradise gives another report about the named Companions. Sa'eed bin Zaid reports that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said ten are in Paradise. He then counts Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Az-Zubair, Talhah, Abdur-Rahman, Abu Ubaidah, and Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas. He stays silent about the tenth until the people ask him by Allah. Then he says Abu Al-A'war is in Paradise, and the report explains that Abu Al-A'war is Sa'eed bin Zaid bin Amr bin Nufail. This makes the Hadith a key search result for ten promised Paradise and Sa'eed bin Zaid in Paradise.
What we learn from this hadith
- Sa'eed bin Zaid reported a list of those in Paradise.
- The people asked him to name the tenth.
- The narration identifies Abu Al-A'war as Sa'eed bin Zaid.
