أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ مَيْمُونٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رُبَيِّعَةَ السُّلَمِيِّ وَکَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آخَی بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَقُتِلَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَمَاتَ الْآخَرُ بَعْدَهُ فَصَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا قُلْتُمْ قَالُوا دَعَوْنَا لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ اللَّهُمَّ أَلْحِقْهُ بِصَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَيْنَ صَلَاتُهُ بَعْدَ صَلَاتِهِ وَأَيْنَ عَمَلُهُ بَعْدَ عَمَلِهِ فَلَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا کَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَائِ وَالْأَرْضِ قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ أَعْجَبَنِي لِأَنَّهُ أَسْنَدَ لِي
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1991
It was narrated from ‘Amr bin Maimun from ‘Abdullah bin Rubay’ah As-Sulami, who was also one of the Companions of Allah’s essenge, from ‘Ubaid bin Khalid As-Sulami, that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم established the bond of brotherhood between two men. One of them was killed and the other died after him. We offered the funeral prayer for him, and the Prophet said: “What did you say?” They said: “Allah, forgive him; Allah, have mercy on him; Allah, join him with his companion.” The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Where is his alah in comparison to his companion’s Salah? Where are his deeds in comparison to his companion’s deeds? Indeed the difference between them is as great as that between heaven and Earth.” (One of the narrators) ‘Amr bin Maimun said: “I was happy with that because he raised it for me.” (Hasan)
