English Translation
Riyah ibn al-Harith narrated that al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah was in the Grand Mosque with the people of Kufa around him. A man called Sa'id ibn Zayd came, and al-Mughirah greeted him and seated him at his feet on the bed. Then a man from the people of Kufa came and began cursing. Sa'id asked: 'Who is this man cursing, O Mughirah?' He said: 'He curses 'Ali ibn Abi Talib.' Sa'id said: 'O Mughir ibn Shu'b! O Mughir ibn Shu'b! — three times — do I not hear the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ being cursed in your presence while you neither object nor change it? I bear witness upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with what my ears heard and my heart retained, for I would never narrate a lie about him that he would question me about when I meet him. He said: Abu Bakr is in Paradise, 'Umar is in Paradise, 'Ali is in Paradise, 'Uthman is in Paradise, Talhah is in Paradise, al-Zubayr is in Paradise, 'Abd al-Rahman is in Paradise, Sa'd ibn Malik is in Paradise, and a ninth of the believers is in Paradise. If I wished to name him, I would.' The people of the mosque clamored, adjuring him: O Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who is the ninth? He said: 'You have adjured me by Allah, the Almighty. I am the ninth of the believers, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is the tenth.' Then he followed that with an oath saying: 'By Allah, a single battle in which a man gets his face dusty alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is better than the deeds of any of you even if he were given the lifespan of Nuh (عليه السلام).'
