حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ 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 أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُ، وَأَنْ يَرْحَمَهُ، وَأَنْ يُلْحِقَهُ بِصَاحِبِهِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَأَيْنَ صَلَاتُهُ بَعْدَ صَلَاتِهِ، وَعَمَلُهُ بَعْدَ عَمَلِهِ، أَوْ صِيَامُهُ بَعْدَ صِيَامِهِ؟ " قَالَ: " إِنَّ مَا 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, "They 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 martyr go? The fasts he observed 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."
