حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ، مِنْ بَلِيٍّ قَدِمَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَكَانَ إِسْلاَمُهُمَا جَمِيعًا فَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَشَدَّ اجْتِهَادًا مِنَ الآخَرِ فَغَزَا الْمُجْتَهِدُ مِنْهُمَا فَاسْتُشْهِدَ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ الآخَرُ بَعْدَهُ سَنَةً ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ . قَالَ طَلْحَةُ فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ بَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَ بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا أَنَا بِهِمَا فَخَرَجَ خَارِجٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَأَذِنَ لِلَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ الآخِرَ مِنْهُمَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَأَذِنَ لِلَّذِي اسْتُشْهِدَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَىَّ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ يَأْنِ لَكَ بَعْدُ . فَأَصْبَحَ طَلْحَةُ يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ النَّاسَ فَعَجِبُوا لِذَلِكَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ . وَحَدَّثُوهُ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ " مِنْ أَىِّ ذَلِكَ تَعْجَبُونَ " فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا كَانَ أَشَدَّ الرَّجُلَيْنِ اجْتِهَادًا ثُمَّ اسْتُشْهِدَ وَدَخَلَ هَذَا الآخِرُ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَهُ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " أَلَيْسَ قَدْ مَكَثَ هَذَا بَعْدَهُ سَنَةً " . قَالُوا بَلَى . قَالَ " وَأَدْرَكَ رَمَضَانَ فَصَامَهُ وَصَلَّى كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنْ سَجْدَةٍ فِي السَّنَةِ " . قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " فَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا أَبْعَدُ مِمَّا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ " .

It was narrated from Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydullah that two men from Bali came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and embraced Islam together. One of them strove harder than the other; he went on a military expedition and was martyred. The other lived for a year after him, then died. Talhah said: ‘I dreamed that I was at the gate of Paradise when I saw the two of them. Someone came out of Paradise and admitted the one who had died later. Then he came out and admitted the one who had been martyred. He returned to me and said, “Go back; your time has not yet come.”’ In the morning Talhah told people about it, and they were amazed. Word of it reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they told him the story. He said, ‘What is it that amazes you?’ They said, ‘Messenger of Allah, this man strove harder, then was martyred, yet this other man entered Paradise before him.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Did he not live for a year after him?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘And did he not reach Ramadan and fast it, and perform so many prayers during that year?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘The difference between them is greater than the distance between heaven and earth.’
