أَتَى جِبْرِيلُ - عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ - النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يُحِبُّ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ ثَلَاثَةً فَأَحِبَّهُمْ: عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَأَبُو ذَرٍّ، وَالْمِقْدَادُ ؓ قَالَ: وَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ - عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ - فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَتَشْتَاقُ إِلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ، وَعِنْدَهُ ﷺ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ؓ، فَرَجَا أَنْ يَكُونَ لِبَعْضِ الْأَنْصَارِ، قَالَ: فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْهُمْ فَهَابَهُ، فَخَرَجَ فَلَقِيَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ آنِفًا فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ - عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ - فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَشْتَاقُ إِلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ، فَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِبَعْضِ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَهِبْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ ﷺ، فَهَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ فَتَسْأَلَهُ ؟ فَقَالَ ؓ: إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ فَلَا أَكُونُ مِنْهُمْ، فَيَشْمَتُ بِي قَوْمِي. ثُمَّ لَقِيَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ، فَلَقِيَ عَلِيًّا ؓ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: نَعَمْ أَنَا أَسْأَلُهُ، فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مِنْهُمْ فَأَحْمَدُ اللهَ تَعَالَى، وَإِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ مِنْهُمْ، يَعْنِي فَلَا يَضُرُّ. فَدَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَنَسًا ؓ

Anas said: He wanted to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about them but was in awe of him. So he went out and met Abu Bakr ؓ and said, 'O Abu Bakr, I was just with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when Jibril ﷺ came to him and said, "Paradise yearns for three of your Companions." I hoped it might be for some of the Ansar, but I was too in awe to ask him ﷺ. Would you go in and ask him?'
