wildcard metacharacters and options to the ls command

what is the command for all files that have exactly three letters in their filenames and end with either the letter "t" or the letter "h" in the /bin directory

I can put ls ???

I can put ls *[t,h]

But, I do not know how to combine it...

See 'man bash' ("Pattern Matching").
