حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ ثنا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ ابْنُ أَخِي رِشْدِينَ وَأَبُو الطَّاهِرِ قَالَا أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْرَمَةُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا وَنَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُونَ كَانَ رَجُلَانِ أَخَوَانِ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْآخَرِ فَتُوُفِّيَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَفْضَلُهُمَا ثُمَّ عُمِّرَ الْآخَرُ بَعْدَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ فَذَكَرُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَضِيلَةَ الْأَوَّلِ عَلَى الْآخَرِ فَقَالَ «أَلَمْ يَكُنِ الْآخَرُ يُصَلِّي؟» قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَمَا يُدْرِيكُمْ مَاذَا بَلَغَتْ بِهِ صَلَوَاتُهُ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الصَّلَاةِ كَمَثَلِ نَهْرٍ جَارٍ بِبَابِ رَجُلٍ غَمْرٍ عَذْبٍ يَقْتَحِمُ فِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ فَمَاذَا تَرَوْنَ يَبْقَى مِنْ دَرَنِهِ؟ لَا تَدْرُونَ مَاذَا بَلَغَتْ بِهِ صَلَاتُهُ»

✧ "I heard Sa'd and some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'There were two brothers during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and one of them was better than the other. The one who was better passed away, and the other brother lived for forty more days before he also passed away. So they mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the virtue of the first over the second. He said, 'Was the second one not praying?' They replied, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, he was praying and there was no problem with his prayer.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What do you think the value of his prayers reached? The example of prayer is like a river flowing at the gate of a man's house, and he immerses himself in it five times a day. So what do you think remains of his dirt?' You do not know how far his prayers reached."

Notes

  • «هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ فَإِنَّهُمَا لَمْ يُخَرِّجَا مَخْرَمَةَ بْنَ بُكَيْرٍ وَالْعِلَّةُ فِيهِ أَنَّ طَائِفَةً مِنْ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ ذَكَرُوا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِيهِ لِصِغَرِ سِنِّهِ وَأَثْبَتَ بَعْضُهُمْ سَمَاعَهُ مِنْهُ» صحيح
