The Ten Promised Paradise

The ten companions (al-Ashra al-Mubashara) whom the Prophet ﷺ named explicitly as being guaranteed entry into Paradise, in a single hadith narrated by Sa'id ibn Zayd رضي الله عنه.

6 companions

Abu Bakr al-Siddiq The first man to believe, the last one to be outpaced in any good — the ultimate companion of the Prophet ﷺ.

Ali ibn Abi Talib The lion of Allah — first youth to embrace Islam, raised in the Prophet's household, and the embodiment of courage, knowledge, and undying love.

Sa'd ibn Abi Waqas The archer of Islam, whose prayers were never turned away, and whose arrows were the first shed in defence of the faith.

Talha ibn Ubaydillah The walking martyr whose hands caught arrows so the Prophet ﷺ would not fall.

Uthman ibn Affan The man so modest that the angels themselves were shy in his presence.

Zubayr ibn al-Awwam The Prophet's own disciple — the first sword drawn in defence of Islam.
