The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “A man from the people of Paradise will now come in through this door.” Muʿāwiyah entered. The next day he said the same, and Muʿāwiyah entered again. On the third day he repeated it, and Muʿāwiyah entered once more. A man asked, “O Messenger of Allah, is it this one?” He replied, “It is this one.”

Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “You are of me, Muʿāwiyah, and I am of you. You will crowd with me at the gate of Paradise like these two.” He held together his index and middle fingers.
