Who are the ten who were promised Janna?

Answer 1

The ten people promised paradise (Arabic: Ashrah Al-Mubashirina bil jannah) are listed in a hadith narrated by Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood, and Ibn Majah. These hadith books belong in the Sunni hadith canon and, while Shi'as accept some of the hadith that come from this book, most Shi'a scholars reject the authenticity of this Hadith of the ten promised Jannah.

The ten are:

1. Abu Bakr
2. Umar
3. Uthman ibn Affan
4. Ali ibn Abi Talib
5. Talhah ibn Ubaidullah
6. Zubayr ibn al-Awam
7. Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf
8. Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas
9. Abu Ubaidah ibn al Jarrah
10. Sa'eed ibn Zaid

The Hadith as reported in Tirmidhi goes as follows:

Abdul Rahman bin `Awf said: The Prophet (S) said: Abu Bakr in Paradise, Omar in Paradise, 'Uthman in Paradise, Ali in Paradise, Talha in Paradise, al- Zubair (bin al-'Awwam) in Paradise, AbdulRahman bin `Awf in Paradise, Saad (bin Abi Waqqass) in Paradise, Saeed (bin Zaid), and abu 'Ubaida bin al- Jarrah in Paradise."
