Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3757
This Hadith about Hira and the ten in Paradise is reported from Sa'eed bin Zaid. He says he bears witness for nine people that they are in Paradise, and if he bore witness for a tenth, he would not be sinful. He then explains that they were with the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم at Mount Hira when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Be firm, Hira! There is not upon you any but a Prophet, or a Siddiq, or a martyr.” The names mentioned include the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talhah, Az-Zubair, Sa'd, and Abdur-Rahman bin Awf. When asked about the tenth, Sa'eed said, “Me.”
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave a special statement at Mount Hira.
- The narration links those present with high ranks such as Prophet, Siddiq, or martyr.
- Sa'eed bin Zaid identified himself as the tenth.
