Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) and his virtue
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34510 — Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him)
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).
Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) said 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 Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him).'" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) informed Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) of this and asked: "By what deed did you get ahead of me to Paradise?" He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have never incurred ritual impurity without then performing ablution, and I have never performed ablution without considering that I owe Allah two units of prayer, and I prayed them." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is because of this."
