حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ
أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ قَدِمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَكَانَ إِسْلَامُهُمَا جَمِيعًا، وَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَشَدَّ اجْتِهَادًا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ، فَغَزَا الْمُجْتَهِدُ مِنْهُمَا، فَاسْتُشْهِدَ، ثُمَّ مَكَثَ الْآخَرُ بَعْدَهُ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ، قَالَ طَلْحَةُ: فَرَأَيْتُ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنِّي عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا أَنَا بِهِمَا وَقَدْ خَرَجَ خَارِجٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، فَأَذِنَ لِلَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ الْآخِرَ مِنْهُمَا، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَأَذِنَ لِلَّذِي اسْتُشْهِدَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَا إِلَيَّ فَقَالَا لِي: ارْجِعْ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْنِ لَكَ بَعْدُ، فَأَصْبَحَ طَلْحَةُ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ النَّاسَ، فَعَجِبُوا لِذَلِكَ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: مِنْ أَيِّ ذَلِكَ تَعْجَبُونَ؟ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا كَانَ أَشَدَّ اجْتِهَادًا، ثُمَّ اسْتُشْهِدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَدَخَلَ هَذَا الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَلَيْسَ قَدْ مَكَثَ هَذَا بَعْدَهُ سَنَةً؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى. قَالَ: وَأَدْرَكَ رَمَضَانَ، فَصَامَهُ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى. قَالَ: وَصَلَّى كَذَا وَكَذَا سَجْدَةً فِي السَّنَةِ ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى. قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فَلَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا أَبْعَدُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ.

✧ Two men came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they had both embraced Islam together. One of them was more zealous in worship than the other. The zealous one went on a military expedition and was martyred. The other remained after him for a year, then died. Talhah said: I saw in a dream, as a sleeper sees, as if I were at the gate of Paradise. Suddenly, I saw the two of them, and someone came out of Paradise and gave permission to the one who had died later, then came out and gave permission to the one who had been martyred. Then they came back to me and said: Go back, for your time has not yet come. In the morning Talhah told the people about it, and they were amazed. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he asked: Why are you amazed? They said: O Messenger of Allah, this one was more zealous in worship and was martyred in the path of Allah, yet this other one entered Paradise before him. He said: Did he not remain after him for a year? They said: Yes. He said: And did he reach Ramadan and fast it? They said: Yes. He said: And did he pray such-and-such prostrations during the year? They said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The distance between them is greater than what is between heaven and earth.
