مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1644
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Zalim al-Mazini said; When Mu'awiyah left Koofah, he appointed as his governor al-Mugheerah bin Shu' bah. He allowed some speakers to criticise 'Ali. I was beside Sa'eed bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail and he got angry and stood up. He took me by the hand and I followed him, and he said: Don't you see this man who is wronging himself, who is allowing the people to insult a man who is one of the people of Paradise? I bear witness with regard to the nine that they will be in Paradise, and if I bore witness concerning the tenth I would not be sinning. I said: How is that? He said; The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Be still, Hira', for there is no one on you except a Prophet or a Siddeeq or a martyr." i said: Who were they? He said: The Messenger of Allah, Abu Bakr, Umar, 'Usman, 'Ali, az-Zubair, Talha, 'Abdur- Rahman bin 'Awf and Saad bin Malik. Then he fell silent. I said: And who was the tenth? He said: Me.
