حَدِيثُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ، ١٧٩٢١ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: آخَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ، فَقُتِلَ أَحَدُهُمَا، وَمَاتَ الْآخَرُ بَعْدَهُ، فَصَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا قُلْتُمْ؟ " قَالُوا: دَعَوْنَا لَهُ (١) : اللهُمَّ أَلْحِقْهُ بِصَاحِبِهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَأَيْنَ صَلَاتُهُ بَعْدَ صَلَاتِهِ؟ وَأَيْنَ صَوْمُهُ بَعْدَ صَوْمِهِ؟ وَأَيْنَ عَمَلُهُ بَعْدَ عَمَلِهِ؟ - شَكَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَالْعَمَلِ شُعْبَةُ فِي أَحَدِهِمَا - الَّذِي بَيْنَهُمَا كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ubaid bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) established brotherhood between two men. One of them was martyred during the time of the Prophet (ﷺ), and after some time, the other died a natural death. People began to pray for him. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What are you praying for?" We replied, "We are saying: O Allah! Forgive him, have mercy on him, and grant him the companionship of his friend." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then where did the prayers he offered after the martyrdom of his companion go? The fasts he kept later, or whatever other deeds he performed, where will they go? The distance between the two is greater than that between the earth and the sky." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.
