Ushra Mubasharah is a special category of ten companions (Sahaba), who were promised Jannah in their life time, while they were living.
The following are the names of the ten companions promised Jannah:
Talha Ibn Ubaydullah
He belonged to the same tribe as Abu Bakr Siddiq, Banu Taym.
After his migration to Madina, he was paired up with Abu Ayyub Al Ansari (r).
He is mostly known for his excellence in the Battle of Uhud, in which he was alongside Prophet Muhammad (s), from the beginning to the end of the battle. In fact Prophet Muhammad (s) said that at one point in Battle of Uhud, he (s) saw Jibreel (as) defending him (s) on his right and Talha Ibn Ubaydullah (ra) defending Muhammad (s) on his left.
Prophet (s) mentioned about Talha that he is a walking and a living martyr. Abu Bakar (ra) mentioned later, that day of Uhud was Talha’s day, because many people had fled from the side of our Prophet(s), but Talha (ra) was constantly with him.

Talha (ra) had Named all his sons after the names of Prophets.
He passed away during the Battle of Camel.
Az Zubayr Ibn Al Awwam
He was among the five people who had accepted Islam at the hands of Abubakar As Siddiq (ra).
Zubayr (ra) was around 12 years old when he became a Muslim. At that time, Prophet(s) was preaching Islam privately and thus Zubayr( ra) was one of the youngest attendees of his meetings at Daar Ul Arqam.
His mother was Safia bint Abdulmuttalib, Prophet(s)’s aunt. Therefore Zubayr and Prophet(s) were first cousins.
He was persecuted for accepting Islam and tortured by his uncle at a very young age.
Because of persecution, he was among those who had migrated to Abyssinia and later migrated to Madina. Thus he is among those Muslims who were called Sahib Ul Hijratain.
He was the first Muslim to unsheathe a sword for the sake of Allah (SWT), in early Makkan time to defend Prophet Muhammad (s).
In battle of Badar, Zubayr (ra) was one of the two horsemen, in the entire army of the Muslims. He was wearing a yellow turban that day and according to a narration all the angels participating in Badar were wearing yellow turbans as well.
Zubayr (ra) has the honor of being one of the three flag bearers during the conquest of Makkah.
He played a decisive role in the Battle of Yarmook. This battle opened all of the doors for Byzantine conquests.
He had named all of his sons after various sahabah who were martyrs (shaheed).
Abdur Rahman Ibn Awf
He was one of the first eight persons to accept Islam.
He was born with the name Abdul ‘Amr or Abdul Ka’bah, but when he accepted Islam, the noble Prophet (s) called him Abdur-Rahman.
Abdur-Rahman also migrated twice, first to Abyssinia and later Madina, thus belonging to the group of Sahib Ul Hijratayn.
Soon after arriving in Madinah, the Prophet(s) in his unique manner began pairing off the Muhajirin and the Ansar. Abdur-Rahman was paired up by Prophet (s) with Saad ibn ar-Rabi'ah, al Ansari.
Abdur-Rahman started from scratch in Madinah and with his business skills, became a wealthy man.
At the Battle of Tabuk, he donated generously for the expedition and then spent money equipping those people who were too poor to equip themselves.
After the demise of the Prophet (SAW), Abdul-Rahman (Ra) took on the responsibility of looking after the needs of “the Mothers of the Believers”, the Prophet’s wives. He even performed Hajj with them to ensure that all their needs were met.

It was at the question of Sa’ad (ra) about the booty of wars (ghanima) to Prophet (s), that the verses of Surah al Anfal were revealed, at the end of the battle of Badar. In these verses, the Muslims were allowed to keep the war booty at the end of the battles. Before Badar, there was no revelation regarding it
At the end of Abubakar (ra)’s and beginning of Umar( ra)’s khilafa, Saad Bin abi Waqqas (Ra) was made the general of the army against Sassanid Persia (Persian empire). This is the greatest legacy of Saad Bin abi Waqqas right after the time of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
