The Prophet ﷺ was in a wall when a man sought permission and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Grant him permission and give him glad tidings of Paradise". So I granted him permission and gave him glad tidings of Paradise. Then Abu Bakr sought permission and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Grant him permission and give him glad tidings of Paradise". Then Umar sought permission and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Grant him permission and give him glad tidings of Paradise in the face of affliction". So I granted him permission and gave him glad tidings of Paradise and informed him of what he said. He said, "Allah is the One sought for help". [306] 8079 Ubaidullah ibn Sa'id informed us that Yahya informed us that Ibn Abi 'Aruba told us.
