Hadith 34510
٣٤٥١٠ - حدثنا زيد بن الحباب قال: حدثني حسين بن واقد قال: حدثني عبد اللَّه بن بريدة عن أبيه أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ (قال: "سمعت) (١) (خشخشة) (٢) أمامي فقلت: من هذا؟ " (قالوا) (٣): بلال، فأخبره قال: "بما سبقتني إلى الجنة؟ "، قال: يا رسول اللَّه ما أحدثت إلا توضأت، ولا توضأت إلا رأيت (أن) (٤) للَّه علي ركعتين أصليهما، قال: "بها" (٥).
Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I heard the sound of footsteps ahead of me, so I asked: Who is this? The angels said: It is Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) of this and asked: By which deed have you preceded me? He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Whenever I became impure, I performed ablution, and whenever I performed ablution, I thought that surely Allah has a right upon me for two units of prayer, so I performed them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is because of this.
