Glad Tidings of Martyrdom
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was once on Mount Hiraa when it began to shake. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) addressed the mountain saying, “Be still, O Hiraa! For only a Nabi, a siddeeq, and a martyr stands upon you.” When this incident transpired, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was on the mountain with Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), Hazrat ‘Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), Hazrat ‘Uthmaan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), Hazrat Talhah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), Hazrat Zubair (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Sa’d bin abi Waqqaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) .

The Neighbor of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in Jannah
Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) said, “My ear had directly heard the following statement from the blessed mouth of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam): “Hazrat Talhah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Zubair (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) will be my neighbors in Jannah.””
