"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: أَتَى جبْرِيلُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! إِن الله يُحِبُّ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ ثَلاَثًا فَأَحبَّهُمْ: عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَبِى طَالِبٍ، وَأَبُو ذَرٍّ، وَالْمِقْدَادُ، قَالَ: وَأَتَاهُ جِبْريلُ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَتَشْتَاقُ إِلَى ثَلاَثَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ - وَعِنْدَهُ أَنسُ بْنُ مَالِك فَرَجَا أَنْ يَكُونَ لِبَعْضِ الأَنْصَارِ - فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ آنِفًا، فَآتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لتشتاق إِلَى ثَلاَثَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ، فَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِبَعْضِ الأنْصَارِ فَهِبْتُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ، فَهَلْ لَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ فَتَسْأَلَهُ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنِّى أَخَافُ أنْ أَسْأَلَهُ فَلاَ أَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ فَيَشْمَتَ بِى قَوْمِى ثُمَّ لَقِىَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ قَوْل أَبِى بَكْرٍ، فَلَقِىَ عَلِيّا، فَقَالَ لَهُ: نَعَمْ أَنَا أَسْأَلُهُ فَإِنْ أكن مِنْهُمْ فَأَحْمَدُ اللهَ، وإِن لَّمْ أَكنْ مِنْهُمْ حَمِدْتُ اللهَ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى نَبِىِّ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أنَسًا حَدَّثنِى أَنَّهُ كانَ عِنْدَكَ آنِفًا، وَأَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَتَاكَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَتَشْتَاقُ إِلَى ثَلاَثَة مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ، قَالَ: فَمَنْ هُمْ يَا نَبِىَّ الله؟ قَالَ: أَنْتَ منْهُمْ يَا عَلِىُّ، وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَا سِر، وَسَيَشْهَدُ مَعَكَ مَشَاهِدَ بَين فَضْلُهَا، عَظِيمٌ خَيْرُهَا، وَسَلْمَانُ، وَهُوَ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ، وَهُوَ نَاصِحٌ فَاتَّخِذْهُ لِنَفْسِكَ".

“Ali said: Jibril came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘O Muhammad! Allah loves three of your Companions, and He loves them most: ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, Abu Dharr, and al-Miqdad.’ He said: Jibril came to him and said: ‘O Muhammad! Paradise longs for three of your Companions.’ Anas ibn Malik was with him, and he hoped it would be for one of the Ansar, so he wanted to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ just now. Then Jibril came to him and said: ‘Paradise longs for three of your Companions.’ I hoped it would be for one of the Ansar, so I was too shy to ask him. Would you go in and ask him?’ He said: ‘I fear that if I ask him I will not be among them, and my people will gloat over me.’ Then he met ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab and said to him the same as the words of Abu Bakr. Then he met Ali and said to him: ‘Yes, I will ask him. If I am among them, I will praise Allah, and if I am not among them, I will praise Allah.’ So he entered upon the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and said: ‘Anas narrated to me that he was with you just now, and that Jibril came to you and said: “Paradise longs for three of your Companions.”’ He said: ‘Who are they, O Prophet of Allah?’ He said: ‘You are among them, O Ali, and ‘Ammar ibn Yasir, and he will witness with you battles whose virtue is great and whose goodness is abundant, and Salman, and he is of us, the People of the House, and he is sincere, so take him for yourself.’”
