The followers of the divine prophets endeavour to enter the heaven as it is the main aim and destination of the best, and the purest.
The same heaven is eager for Salman al-Farsi’s arrival. Anas has stated that the Prophet said, “Heaven is eager for three people, ‘Ali, Salman, Abu Dharr, and Ammar Yasser’”.
The Prophet has also stated, “Gabriel informed me: ‘O Mohammad! Heaven is eager for three of your companions: Ali, Ammar and Salman.’”
In another narration, concerning all Muslims, the Prophet states: “Be aware! That heaven is eager for four of my companions: Ali, Miqdad, Salman, and Abu Dharr. Anas also mentioned that the Prophet said, “There are three people the heavenly angles are eager to meet: Ali, Ammar, and Salman.”
These companions are the forerunners of the Shi‘a whom are placed in the same group with the best companion, minister, heir of Prophet, and the first Shi‘a: Imam Ali.
