Hadith 423
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : كَانَ رَجُلَانِ أَخَوَانِ فَهَلَكَ أَحَدُهُمَا قَبْلَ صَاحِبِهِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ، فَذُكِرَتْ فَضِيلَةُ الْأَوَّلِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَلَمْ يَكُنِ الْآخَرُ مُسْلِمًا " ، قَالُوا : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَكَانَ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَمَا يُدْرِيكُمْ مَا بَلَغَتْ بِهِ صَلَاتُهُ ، إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الصَّلَاةِ كَمَثَلِ نَهْرٍ غَمْرٍ عَذْبٍ بِبَاب أَحَدِكُمْ ، يَقْتَحِمُ فِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ ، فَمَا تَرَوْنَ ذَلِكَ يُبْقِي مِنْ دَرَنِهِ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تَدْرُونَ مَا بَلَغَتْ بِهِ صَلَاتُهُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that there were two brothers during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). One of them died forty days before the other. People praised the one who died first. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do you know to what rank the prayers of the other have raised him? The example of prayer is like a river of sweet water, very deep, flowing at someone’s door, and he bathes in it five times a day. Will there remain any dirt on his body? Then do you know to what rank the prayers have raised the other brother?”
