حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ أَوَّلُ ثَلَاثَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ شَهِيدٌ وَعَفِيفٌ مُتَعَفِّفٌ وَعَبْدٌ أَحْسَنَ عِبَادَةَ اللَّهِ وَنَصَحَ لِمَوَالِيهِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1642
Narrated Abu Hurairah: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, I was shown the first of (every) three to enter Paradise: A martyr, an 'Atif, who is a Muta'affif, and a slave who perfected his worship of Allah, and was sincere to his masters. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan.
