Ten of the companions are claimed to have been promised Paradise during their lives. They are:
I really don’t know where to look for the related hadith, can anyone dig up sources for it? How authentic is this hadith? I doubt very much if the shia’s accept this as a hadith to begin with. Can someone be kind and put up the hadith and it’s source?
Just think FF:
How Authentic this hadith is?
The narrator of this hadith is so unjust that he/she ommited the names of the sardar of jawanan e jannat Imam Hassan a.s and Imam Husain a.s. from it.
^ maybe cuz this hadith pertains to those who were promised the heaven during their lives for their services to islam … Hussain r.a. was just a child when prophet :saw: passed away.
there r others who have been given the glad tidings of entering paradise in their lifetime, but these r the ppl who were given the news in a group....
and it doesnt mean that these r the only 10 who will enter paradise....
the hadith is mutafiq alayhi (agreed as authentic by all scholars)....

As far as I understand, Femme Fatale requested the readers to post the actual hadith with the source. If you have it, will you be so kind as to post it here?
Thanks. :-)

ofcourse u can, and shud, ignore useless discussions such as the site u took the list from (i.e. this one )
Armughal thats a shia website. I was looking for the sunni supporting facts.

Until **armughal* gives you some Sunni websites you can count the material from Shia site and their research on this hadith. [No comments; everything is given there about this hadith.] If Administrator like to close this thread, he can, before the thread enter into sectarian discussion.
Its so interesting to see Brother, what the originator of this thread is trying to do.
A Sahîh hadîth related by Abû Dâwûd, al-Tirmidhî, Ibn Majah & Ahmad, and well-known amongst the people. The fullest narration is, "Abû Bakr will be in the Garden; cUmar will be in the Garden; cUthmân will be in the Garden; cAlî will be in the Garden; Talhah will be in the Garden; al-Zubair will be in the Garden; cAbd al-Rahmân b. 'Auf will be in the Garden; Sa'd b. Abî Waqqas will be in the Garden; Sacîd b. Zaid will be in the Garden; Abû 'Ubaidah b. al-Jarrah will be in the Garden."

Correction here: this is not mutafiq alayhi.
I think there is a typo in the list of the names. I think Hazrat Ali a.s name was just added by mistake. This name doesn't fit with other names in the list.

The tittle of "Leader of all the youths in paradise" was given to Hasnain a.s by the Prophet pbuh. Rasool pbuh knew what services to islam they were going to do.
This topic is to discuss “ashra mubashra”. The hadith, atleast for those who consider it authentic, shows that these ten people were mentioned in this hadith at one place.
It does not mean there is NO ONE else who was given a similar glad tiding at other times.
Hazrat Imam Hassan 
and Hussain and also Hazrat Fatima 
are all mentioned in other ahadith. I don’t think anyone is disputing that, but that is not what is being discussed here. If you want to discuss the status of other people, why don’t you open a new thread and provide your knowledge?
Faisal you can go ahead and close the thread. I see some people jumping in and getting defensive for no reason at all even though they weren't even addressed in the question. They have a hard time staying out and a harder time participating. I'll search elsewhere.
Thank you.

so when the Prophet informed us was an errr? (from the knowledge which is got from Allah) Naaauzobillah
Why dont you say that those people who were in between us and Prophets made an errr(can make an errr). Why are you denfending them. and in that defence destroying your own aaqied (belief).
This is a question.
WHAT about Hazrat Salman FArsi?
given that the majority if not all Sunni compilers of hadith were of Persian origin you wouldn't find anything bad about Salman Farsi.. in fact there will be hadiths which elevate his status to extremes..
I'm unaware about Shia compilers but I suspect they have their share of Persian tales too.

and had the hadith been compiled by some pervez guy, u wud be believing in them with your eyes closed… 
The Ten Who Were Given Glad Tidings of Paradise
Dr. `Umar Al-Ashqar
The Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, clearly stated that ten of his Companions would be in Paradise. Ahmad reports from Said ibn Zayd, and Tirmidhi reports from Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf, that the Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, said:
“Abu Bakr will be in Paradise, Umar will be in Paradise, Uthman will be in Paradise, Ali will be in Paradise, Talhah will be in Paradise, Al-Zubayr will be in Paradise, Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf will be in Paradise, Sad ibn Abi Waqqas will be in Paradise, Said ibn Zayd will be in Paradise and Abu Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah will be in Paradise.” Its isnad is sahih. [Sahih al-Jami` as-Saghir, 1/70, no. 50]
Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and Al-Diya’ reported a slightly different version from Sa`id ibn Zayd:
"Ten will be in Paradise: the Prophet will be in Paradise, Abu Bakr will be in Paradise, Umar will be in Paradise, Uthman will be in Paradise, Ali will be in Paradise, Talhah will be in Paradise, al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam will be in Paradise, Sad ibn Malik will be in Paradise, Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf will be in Paradise and Said ibn Zayd will be in Paradise. Its isnad is sahih. [Sahih al-Jami` as-Saghir, 4/34, no. 3905]
The books of the Sunnah tell us that one day the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, was sitting at the well of Ariis, with Abu Musa al-Ashari acting as his gatekeeper. Abu Bakr al-Siddiq came and asked permission to see him, and the Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said, “Let him in, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise.” Then Umar came, and he said, "Let him in and give him the glad tidings of Paradise." Then Uthman came and he said, “Let him in, and give him the glad tidings of Paradise because of an affliction that will befall him.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari, Muslim and Tirmidhi. See Jami al-Usul, 8/562, no. 6372. The hadith is lengthy, so we have shortened it here and quoted only that which is relevant to the current discussion.]
Ibn Asakir reported with a sahih isnad from Ibn Masud that the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said: "My successor will be in Paradise, his successor will be in Paradise, and the third and fourth will be in Paradise." [Sahih al-Jami as-Saghir, 4/149, no. 4311.] The “successor” refers to the one who would take over the reins of leadership after his death. These four are Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and `Ali, may Allah be pleased with them all.
Tirmidhi and al-Hakim reported with a sahih isnad from A'ishah, radhiallahu anha, that the Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said to Abu Bakr: "You are free from the Fire." [Sahih al-Jami as-Saghir, 2/24, no. 1494]
