حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، حَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي بُرَيْدَةَ يَقُولُ: أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: فَدَعَا بِلَالًا، ، فَقَالَ: " يَا بِلَالُ بِمَ سَبَقْتَنِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ؟ مَا دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ قَطُّ إِلَّا سَمِعْتُ خَشْخَشَتَكَ أَمَامِي، إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ الْجَنَّةَ فَسَمِعْتُ خَشْخَشَتَكَ، فَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى قَصْرٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ (١) مُشْرِفٍ فَقُلْتُ: لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُوا: لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ. قُلْتُ: أَنَا عَرَبِيٌّ، لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُوا: لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ. قُلْتُ: فَأَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُوا: لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ". فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَوْلَا غَيْرَتُكَ يَا عُمَرُ لَدَخَلْتُ الْقَصْرَ ". فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا كُنْتُ لِأَغَارَ عَلَيْكَ. قَالَ: وَقَالَ لِبِلَالٍ: " بِمَ سَبَقْتَنِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ؟ " قَالَ: مَا أَحْدَثْتُ إِلَّا تَوَضَّأْتُ وَصَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بِهَذَا " (٢)، ،

English translation
It is narrated from Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) called Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, "Bilal! How did you get ahead of me in Paradise? Whenever I entered Paradise, I heard your footsteps ahead of me. Just last night, when I entered Paradise, I again heard your footsteps. Then I reached in front of a lofty palace made of gold and asked the people, 'Whose palace is this?' They replied, 'It belongs to an Arab man.' I said, 'I am also an Arab, whose palace is this?' They replied, 'It belongs to a Muslim man from the Ummah of Muhammad.' I said, 'I am Muhammad myself (ﷺ), whose palace is this?' They replied, 'It is Umar bin Khattab's.' The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Umar! If I had not considered your sense of honor, I would have surely entered that palace.' He (Umar) submitted, 'O Messenger of Allah! Would I ever show honor in front of you?' Then the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), 'How did you get ahead of me in Paradise?' He replied, 'Whenever I became impure (lost ablution), I would perform ablution and offer two rak'ahs (units of prayer).' The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'That is the reason for it.'
