جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مِقْلَاصٍ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of Badr, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if a child were born in the depth of faith and lived for forty years performing all the acts of obedience to Allah and avoiding all sins until he reaches old age or until he does not know anything after knowledge, none of you would attain to this night." And he said, "Indeed, the angels who witnessed the Battle of Badr have a superiority over those who came after them."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ مَوْلُودًا وُلِدَ فِي فُقْهِ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ الدِّينِ يَعْمَلُ بِطَاعَةِ اللهِ كُلِّهَا وَيَجْتَنِبُ الْمَعَاصِيَ كُلَّهَا إِلَى أَنْ يُرَدَّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ أَوْ يُرَدَّ إِلَى أَنْ لَا يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عَلْمٍ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَبْلُغْ أَحَدُكُمْ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ» وَقَالَ «إِنَّ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ الَّذِينَ شَهِدُوا بَدْرًا لَفَضْلًا عَلَى مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ مِنْهُمْ»
