حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: نَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الْأَوْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ:
آخَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ صَحَابَتِهِ، فَقُتِلَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَعَاشَ الْآخَرُ بَعْدَهُ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ مَاتَ فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَدْعُونَ لَهُ، وَكَانَ مُنْتَهَى دُعَائِهِمْ أَنْ يُلْحِقَهُ اللهُ بِأَخِيهِ الَّذِي قُتِلَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " أَيُّهُمَا تَقُولُونَ أَفْضَلُ ؟ " قَالُوا: الَّذِي قُتِلَ، قَالَ: " أَمَا تَجْعَلُونَ لِصَلَاةِ هَذَا وَصِيَامِهِ فَضْلًا، لَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا أَبْعَدُ مِمَّا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ " فَفَضَّلَ الَّذِي مَاتَ عَلَى الَّذِي قُتِلَ ".

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ established brotherhood between two men of his companions. One of them was killed, and the other lived after him as long as God willed, then he died. The companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ started supplicating for him, and the utmost of their supplication was that God join him with his brother who had been killed. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Which of the two do you say is more virtuous?” They said: “The one who was killed.” He said: “Do you not give merit to this one’s prayer and fasting? The distance between them is greater than between heaven and earth.” Thus he gave superiority to the one who died [naturally] over the one who was killed.
