حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ شَقِيقٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ،، ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: دَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَالًا، فَقَالَ: " يَا بِلَالُ، بِمَ سَبَقْتَنِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ الْبَارِحَةَ، فَسَمِعْتُ خَشْخَشَتَكَ أَمَامِي، فَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى قَصْرٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُرَبَّعٍ، فَقُلْتُ: لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُوا: لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ، قُلْتُ: فَأَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُو: لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، قُلْتُ: أَنَا عَرَبِيٌّ، لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُوا: لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، قُلْتُ: فَأَنَا قُرَشِيٌّ، لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ؟ قَالُوا: لَعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ "، فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا أَذَّنْتُ قَطُّ إِلَّا صَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَمَا أَصَابَنِي حَدَثٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا تَوَضَّأْتُ عِنْدَهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بِهَذَا " (١)، ،

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 precede 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 (ﷺ).' I said, 'I am myself Muhammad (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 precede 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.'
