Ushra Mubasharah is a special category of ten companions who were promised Jannah in their life time, while they were living.
Abdur Rahman ibn Awf reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Abu Bakr is in Paradise, Umar is in Paradise, Uthman is in Paradise, Ali is in Paradise, Talha is in Paradise, Az-Zubair is in Paradise, Abdur Rahman ibn Awf is in Paradise, Sa’d is in Paradise, Sa’eed is in Paradise, and Abu Ubaida is in Paradise.” Source: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 3747, Graded: Sahih (authentic) according to as-Suyuti.
The following are the names of the ten companions promised Jannah:
Abu Bakar As Siddiq
Abu Bakar (ra) belonged to Banu taym clan of Qureshi tribe.
Abu Bakr was a fairly wealthy merchant, and before he embraced Islam, was a respected citizen of Makkah. He remained the closest Companion of the Prophet all through the Prophet's life.
Abu Bakr (ra) was among the earliest to accept Islam and at his hands, five of the Ashra Mubashiroon accepted Islam.
He was given the title of As Siddiq by Prophet(s).
He accompanied Prophet(s) on the migration to Madinah.
In the numerous battles which took place during the life of the Prophet(SAW), Abu Bakr was always by his side. Once, he brought all his belongings to the Prophet(SAW), who was raising money for the defense of Madinah. The Prophet(SAW) asked, "Abu Bakr, what did you leave for your family?" The reply came: "God and His Prophet (SAW)."
Abu Bakr (ra) passed away at the age of sixty-three, and was buried by the side of the Holy Prophet (peace be on him). His Caliphate had been of twenty-seven months duration.
Umar Ibn Al Khattab
After the death of Abu Bakr (RA), Umar (RA) was chosen to be his successor.
Umar Ibn Al Khattab was born into a respected Quraysh family thirteen years after the birth of Muhammad (peace be on him).
Umar (Ra)’s personality was dynamic, self-assertive, frank and straight forward. He always spoke whatever was in his mind even if it displeased others.
The Prophet (s) gave him the title 'Al-Faruq' which means the 'Separator of Truth from Falsehood'.
During the Caliphate of Abu Bakr, Umar(ra) was his closest assistant and adviser. When Abu Bakr (ra) died, all the people of Madinah swore allegiance to Umar (ra), and he was proclaimed Caliph.
The most notable feature of Umar (Ra)’s Caliphate was the vast expansion of Islam.
He insisted that his appointed governors live simple lives, keep no guard at their doors and be accessible to the people at all times, and he himself set the example for them.
He spent many a watchful night going about the streets of Madinah to see whether anyone needed help or assistance.
Umar died in the first week of Muharram, 24H, and was buried by the side of the Holy Prophet (peace be on him).
As a Caliph, Umar (ra) ruled for ten years.
Uthman Bin Affan
Uthman (ra) belonged to the Umayyad branch of the Quraysh tribe.
Uthman (ra) and Abu Bakr (ra) were close friends, and it was Abu Bakr (ra) who brought him to Islam when he was thirty-four years of age.
His relatives subjected him to torture because he had embraced Islam, and he was forced to emigrate to Abyssinia. Some time later he returned to Makkah but soon migrated to Madinah with the other Muslims.
In Madinah his business began to flourish and he regained his former prosperity. Uthman's generosity had no limits. That is why he came to be known as 'Ghani' meaning 'Generous'.
Uthman's wife, Ruqayyah ( Prophet saw’s daughter) was seriously ill just before the Battle of Badr and he was excused by the Prophet (peace be on him) from participating in the battle. The illness of Ruqayyah proved fatal, leaving Uthman deeply grieved.
The Prophet (s) was moved and offered Uthman (ra) the hand of another of his daughters, Umm Kulthum. Because he had the high privilege of having two daughters of the Prophet (s) as wives, Uthman (ra) was known as, ‘The Possessor of the Two Lights'. (Dhu Al Nurayn).
Uthman's (ra) most notable contribution to Islam was the compilation of a complete and authoritative text of the Qur'an. A large number of copies of this text were made and distributed all over the Muslim world.
Uthman (ra) ruled for twelve years as a caliph (khalifa).
Ali Ibn Abi Talib
Ali (R) was born in Makkah to a noble Quraish family. His father Abu Talib was a leader of Quraish and also Prophet's (peace be upon him) uncle.
Ali( RA) was around ten years old when he accepted Islam.
Ali ibn Abi Talib was the first cousin of the Prophet (peace be on him). More than that, he had grown up in the Prophet's own household, later married his youngest daughter, Fatima (RA), and remained in closest association with him for nearly thirty years.
Ali (ra) fought in all the early battles of Islam with great distinction, particularly in the expedition of Khaybar.
The Prophet also gave him the title of 'Asadullah' ('Lion of Allah') due to his courage in battles.
Ali (ra) was also a great scholar of Arabic literature and pioneered in the field of grammar and rhetoric.
He was the fourth Caliph after the death of Uthman (RA).
With the death of Ali (ra), the first and most notable phase in the history of Muslim people came to an end.
Abdur Rahman ibn Awf reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Abu Bakr is in Paradise, Umar is in Paradise, Uthman is in Paradise, Ali is in Paradise, Talha is in Paradise, Az-Zubair is in Paradise, Abdur Rahman ibn Awf is in Paradise, Sa’d is in Paradise, Sa’eed is in Paradise, and Abu Ubaida is in Paradise.” Source: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 3747, Graded: Sahih (authentic) according to as-Suyuti.
