I-saww have been Given the news of my-saww own death’. I said, ‘Choose a caliph, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’ He-saww said: ‘Who? ’ I said, ‘Abu Bakr’. He-saww turned his-saww face away from me. Then he-saww said: ‘O Ibn Masoud! I-saww have been Given news of my-saww own death’. I said, ‘Choose a caliph’. He-saww said: ‘Who? ’ I said, ‘Umar’. He-saww turned his-saww face away from me’. Then he-saww said: ‘O Ibn Masoud! I-saww have been Given the news of my-saww own death’. I said, ‘Choose a caliph’. He-saww said: ‘Who? ’ I said, ‘Ali-asws’. He-saww said: ‘But, if they were to obey him-asws they would enter the Paradise in their entirety, gathered’’. [58]
