حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، ثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْرَمَةُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا يَقُولُ:

كَانَ رَجُلَانِ أَخَوَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْآخَرِ، فَتُوُفِّيَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَفْضَلُهُمَا، ثُمَّ عُمِّرَ الْآخَرُ بَعْدَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَضِيلَةَ الْأَوَّلِ عَلَى الْآخِرِ، فَقَالَ: " أَوَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُصَلِّي ؟ " قَالُوا: بَلَى، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " وَكَانَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ ؟ "، قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " وَمَا يُدْرِيكُمْ أَنَّى بَلَغَتْ صَلَاتُهُ ؟ " ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ كَمَثَلِ نَهَرٍ غَمْرٍ عَذْبٍ بِبَابِ رَجُلٍ، يَقْتَحِمُ فِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَمَاذَا تَرَوْنَ ذَلِكَ يُبْقِي مِنْ دَرَنِهِ ؟ إِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ مَا بَلَغَتْ بِهِ صَلَاتُهُ

✧ There were two brothers at the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and one of them was superior to the other. The superior one died, then the other lived forty nights after him and then died. The virtue of the first over the last was mentioned to the Messenger of God ﷺ, so he said: 'Did he not pray?' They said: 'Yes.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'And he was not objectionable?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'And what will tell you how far his prayer reached?' Then the Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'The likeness of prayers is like a deep, sweet river at a man's door into which he plunges five times every day. What do you think that leaves of his filth? You do not know what his prayer accomplished.'
