وَبِهِ: قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ نَهْشَلَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ بَاذَامَ، عَنْ قَنْبَرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
أَلَا إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ اشْتَاقَتْ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي، فَأَمَرَنِي رَبِّي أَنْ أُحِبَّهُمْ، فَانْتَدَبَ صُهَيْبٌ الرُّومِيُّ، وَبِلَالُ بْنُ رَبَاحٍ، وَطَلْحَةُ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ، وَسَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، وَحُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ، وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ "، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ حَتَّى نُحِبَّهُمْ ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " يَا عَمَّارُ، أَنْتَ عَرَّفَكَ اللهُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، وَأَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ فَأَحَدُهُمْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَالثَّانِي الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ الْكِنْدِيُّ، وَالثَّالِثُ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ، وَالرَّابِعُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيُّ

✧ Indeed, Paradise has yearned for four of my Companions, and my Lord commanded me to love them. Suhayb al-Rumi, Bilal b. Rabah, Talhah, al-Zubayr, Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas, Hudhayfah b. al-Yaman, and Ammar b. Yasir were singled out. They said, 'O Messenger of God, who are these four so that we may love them?' The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'O Ammar, you—God has made you recognize the hypocrites. As for these four, one of them is Ali b. Abi Talib, the second is al-Miqdad b. al-Aswad al-Kindi, the third is Salman al-Farisi, and the fourth is Abu Dharr al-Ghifari.'
