The following two Hadīths will prove this,
The beloved Messenger of Allāh śallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam clearly stated that ten of his Companions would be in Paradise. Ahmad reports from Sa’īd ibn Zayd, and at-Tirmidhī reports from Ábdul Rahmān ibn Awf rađiyAllāhu ánhu, that the beloved Prophet śallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam said:
Abū Bakr will be in Paradise, Úmar will be in Paradise, Úthmān will be in Paradise, Áli will be in Paradise, Talha will be in
Paradise, Al-Zubayr will be in Paradise, Ábdul-Rahmān ibn Awf will be in Paradise, Saád ibn Abī Waqqās will be in
Paradise, Sa’īd ibn Zayd will be in Paradise and Abū Úbaydah ibn al-Jarrah will be in Paradise.1

Imām Ahmad, Abū Dawūd, Ibn Mājah and al-Diyá reported a slightly different version from Sa’īd ibn Zayd:
Ten will be in Paradise: the Prophet will be in Paradise, Ab ū Bakr will be in Paradise, Úmar will be in Paradise, Úthmān will be in Paradise, Álī will be in Paradise, Talha will be in Paradise, al-Zubayr ibn al-Áwwām will be in Paradise, Saád ibn
Mālik will be in Paradise, Ábdul-Rahmān ibn Awf will be in Paradise and Sa’īd ibn Zayd will be in Paradise.2
