[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I was shown that I entered paradise and I heard footsteps in front of me." So I asked, "Who is this, O Gabriel?" He said, "This is Bilal. Whenever the wind blows his white robe, a maiden approaches." So I asked, "Whose is this, O Gabriel?" He said, "This is for Umar ibn al-Khattab."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أُرِيتُ أَنِّي دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَسَمِعْتُ خَشْفًا أَمَامِي» فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ؟ قَالَ هَذَا بِلَالٌ «فَإِذَا قَصْرٌ أَبْيَضُ بِفِنَائِهِ جَارِيَةٌ» فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ؟ قَالَ «هَذَا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ»  

Bilal, narrate to me which act at the time of morning prayer you did in Islam for which you hope to receive good reward, for I heard during the night the sound of your steps before me in Paradise. Bilal said: I did not do any act in Islam for which I hope to get any benefit but this that when I perform complete ablution during the night or day I observe prayer with that purification what Allah has ordained for me to pray. (Using translation from Muslim 2458)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِبِلَالٍ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ «حَدِّثْنِي بِأَرْجَى عَمَلٍ عَمِلْتَهُ عِنْدَكَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ خَشْفَ نَعْلَيْكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» قَالَ «مَا عَمِلْتُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ أَرْجَى عِنْدِي أَنِّي لَمْ أَطَّهَرْ طَهُورًا تَامًّا فِي سَاعَةٍ مِنْ لَيْلٍ وَلَا نَهَارٍ إِلَّا صَلَّيْتُ لِرَبِّي مَا كُتِبَ لِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ»  

We were six men in the company of Messenger of Allah (, nay peace be upon him) that the polytheists said to Allah's Apostle ﷺ: Drive them away so that they may not be overbold upon us. He said: I, Ibn Mas'ud and a person from the tribe of Hudhail, Bilal and two other persons, whose names I do not know (were amongst such persons). And there occurred to Messenger of Allah ﷺ what. Allah wished and he talked with himself that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed:" Do not drive away those who call their Lord morning and evening desiring to seek His pleasure." (Using translation from Muslim 2413b)   

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ سِتَّةُ نَفَرٍ فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ اطْرُدْ هَؤُلَاءِ عَنْكَ فَإِنَّهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمْ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ أَنَا وَابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ وَبِلَالٌ وَرَجُلَانِ نَسِيتُ أَسْمَاءَهُمَا قَالَ «فَوَقَعَ فِي يَعْنِي نَفْسِهِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ وَحَدَّثَ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَلَا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ} [الأنعام 52] وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى {الظَّالِمِينَ} [الأنعام 52]
