ahmad:8399Muḥammad b. Bishr > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr > Abū Salamah > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] There were two men from Bani Bali who became Muslim with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . One of them was martyred, and the other lived for another year. Talha ibn Ubayd Allah said, "I saw Paradise in a dream and I saw the one who lived longer of the two entering it before the martyr." I was amazed by this, so in the morning I mentioned it to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ or it was mentioned to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Hasn't he fasted Ramadhan and prayed six thousand units or so of the Sunnah prayer after that?"  

أحمد:٨٣٩٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

كَانَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ بَلِيٍّ حَيٌّ مِنْ قُضَاعَةَ أَسْلَمَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَاسْتُشْهِدَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَأُخِّرَ الْآخَرُسَنَةً قَالَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ فَأُرِيتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَرَأَيْتُ الْمُؤَخَّرَ مِنْهُمَا أُدْخِلَ قَبْلَ الشَّهِيدِ فَتَعَجَّبْتُ لِذَلِكَ فَأَصْبَحْتُ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَوْ ذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ صَامَ بَعْدَهُ رَمَضَانَ وَصَلَّى سِتَّةَ آلَافِ رَكْعَةٍ أَوْ كَذَا وَكَذَا رَكْعَةً صَلَاةَ السَّنَةِ؟
