Sunan Ibn Majah 3925
It was
narrated from Talhah bin ‘Ubaidullah that two men from Bali
came to
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). They had become Muslim together,
but
one of them used to strive harder than the other. The one who used
to
strive harder went out to fight and was martyred. The other one
stayed for a year longer, then he passed away. Talhah said:
“I saw
in
a dream that I was at the gate of Paradise and I saw them (those
two
men). Someone came out of Paradise and admitted the one who had
died
last, then he came out and admitted the one who had been
martyred.
Then he came back to me and said: ‘Go back, for your time
has not yet
come.’” The next morning, Talhah told the people of
that and they were
amazed. News of that reached the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) and they
told him the story. He said: “Why are you so
amazed at that?” They
said: “O Messenger of Allah, the first one
was the one who strove
harder, then he was martyred, but the other
one was admitted to
Paradise before him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “Did he not
stay behind for a year?” They said: “Yes.”
He said: “And did not
Ramadan come and he fasted, and he offered
such and such prayers
during that year?” They said: “Yes.” The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “The difference between them is
greater than the difference
between heaven and earth.”
