أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَاشَانِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ أَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَدَعَا بِلَالًا فَقَالَ يَا بِلَالُ بِمَ سَبَقْتَنِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ الْبَارِحَةَ فَسَمِعْتُ خَشْخَشَتَكَ أَمَامِي فَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى قَصْرٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُرَبَّعٍ مُشْرِفٍ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ فَقَالُوا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا قُرَشِيٌّ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُوا لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَذَّنْتُ قَطُّ إِلَّا صَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَمَا أَصَابَنِي حَدَثٌ إِلَّا تَوَضَّأْتُ عِنْدَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بِهَذَا» صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ على شرط البخاري ومسلم

✧ One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up and called Bilal, saying: O Bilal, how did you precede me to Paradise last night? I heard the rustling of your footsteps ahead of me, and I came upon a palace of gold, square and lofty. I said: For whom is this palace? They said: For a man of Quraysh. I said: I am a Qurayshi; for whom is this palace? They said: For Umar b. al-Khattab. Bilal said: O Messenger of Allah, I have never given the call to prayer except that I prayed two rak'ahs, and no ritual impurity ever befell me except that I performed ablution at that time. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Because of this.' It is sahih according to the conditions of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it, according to the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim.
