REWARD FOR SINCERE TESTIMONY H H 425 "Some of the Companions including Omar and Abu Bakr were sitting with the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, when he stood up and left us. Time passed and we became anxious in case he had been harmed and we were not with him. Being concerned, we all stood up - Abu Hurairah being the first to do so - and set off in search of him. When Abu Hurairah reached a garden belonging to an Ansar he found the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, (Thereafter followed a lengthy discourse which concluded with the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him) saying: 'Go, and give the good news to those you met outside this garden, who, in sincerity bear witness from their heart that - there is no god except Allah - that they will be the inhabitants of Paradise.'" R 425 Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related this hadith
424- وعن أَبي هريرة رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : كُنَّا قُعُوداً مَعَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، مَعَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمْرُ رضي الله عنهما ، في نَفَرٍ فَقَامَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم مِنْ بَيْنِ أظْهُرِنَا ، فَأبْطَأَ عَلَيْنَا فَخَشِينَا أنْ يُقتطَعَ دُونَنَا ، فَفَزِعْنَا فَقُمْنَا فَكُنْتُ أوَّلَ مَنْ فَزِعَ فَخَرَجْتُ أبْتَغِي رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، حَتَّى أتَيْتُ حَائِطاً للأنْصَارِ ... وَذَكَرَ الحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ إِلَى قوله : فَقَالَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "اذهَبْ فَمَن لَقِيتَ وَرَاءَ هَذَا الحَائِطِ يَشْهَدُ أنْ لا إله إلاَّ الله ، مُسْتَيقِناً بِهَا قَلبُهُ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِالجَنَّةِ" رواه مسلم .
