Imam Abu Dawud : 4033
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الدَّالَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ مَوْلَى آلِ جَعْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَرَانِي بَابَ الْجَنَّةِ الَّذِي تَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ أُمَّتِي فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مَعَكَ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي
Narrated to us [Hannad bin As Sari] from ['Abdurrahman bin Muhammad bin Al Muharibi] from [Abdussalam bin Harb] from [Abu Khalid Ad Dalani] from [Abu Khalid] -a freed slave of Ja'dah family- from [Abu Hurairah], he said: The Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him said: 'Jibril came to me, holding my hand, then showed me a gate of paradise that my ummah will enter through.' Abu Bakr said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I hope to be with you to see that gate.' The Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him said: 'O Abu Bakr, you are the first of my ummah to enter it.'
