nasai:1985Sūwayd b. Naṣr > ʿAbdullāh > Shuʿbah > ʿAmr b. Murrah > ʿAmr b. Maymūn

the Messenger of Allah established the bond of brotherhood between two men. One of them was killed and the other died after him. We offered the funeral prayer for him, and the Prophet said: "What did you say?" They said: "O Allah, forgive him; O Allah, have mercy on him; O Allah, join him with his companion." The Prophet said: "Where is his Salah in comparison to his companion's Salah? Where are his deeds in comparison to his companion's deeds? Indeed the difference between heaven and Earth." (One of narrators) 'Amr bin Maimun Said: "I was happy with that because he raised it for me."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a brotherhood between two men, one of whom was killed (in Allah's path), and a week or thereabouts later the other died, and we prayed at his funeral). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: What did you say? We replied: We prayed for him and said: O Allah, forgive him, and join him to his companion. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What about his prayers since the time the other died, and his fasting since the time the other died--the narrator Shu'bah doubted the words, "his fasting--and his deeds since the time the other died. The distance between them is just like the distance between heaven and earth.

[Machine] On the authority of Ubayd ibn Khalid al-Sulami, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: The Prophet ﷺ had two men who were brothers. One of them was killed in the time of the Prophet ﷺ , and then the other one died. So they prayed over him, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "What did you say?" They said, "O Allah, forgive him. O Allah, have mercy on him. O Allah, join him with his companion." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Where is his Salah (prayer) after his Salah? And where is his fasting or his deeds after his deeds? The distance between them is greater than the distance between the sky and the earth."

[Machine] I heard Ubaid bin Khalid say, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed between two men, and one of them was killed while the other remained. After the deceased was buried, they prayed for him and asked Allah to forgive him, have mercy on him, and reunite him with his companion. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, 'What did you say?' They replied, 'We asked Allah to forgive him, have mercy on him, and reunite him with his companion.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Where is his prayer after his prayer? Where is his actions after his actions?' He said, 'And I think he said, 'Where is his fasting after his fasting?' By the One in whose hand is my soul, the distance between them is greater than the distance between the heavens and the earth.' Umar bin Maymun said, 'I was amazed by this hadith because it has been attributed to me.'"
