وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، ثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ الْإِسْكَافِ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ؓ قَالَ:

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 ؓ

He said: Then Jibril ﷺ came to him and said, 'O Muhammad, Paradise yearns for three of your Companions,' and Anas b. Malik ؓ was with him ﷺ, and he hoped it might be for some of the Ansar. 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?'
