It was narrated from Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah that two Ten from Bali came to the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H. They had becomeMuslim together, but one ofthem used to strive harder than the other. The one who used to strive harder went out to fight and was martyred. The other one stayed for a year longer, then he passed away. Talhah said: "I saw in a dream that I was at the gate ofParadise and I saw them (those two men). Someone came out of Paradise and admitted the one who had died last, then he came out and admitted the one who hadbeen martyred. Then he came backto me and said: 'Go back, for yourtime has not yet come.''' The next morning, Talhah told the people of that and they were amazect.News of that reached the Messengerof Allah and they told him the story. He said: "Why "': you so amazed at that?" They: "0 Messenger of Allah, the one Was the one who strove the er, then he was martyred, but other one was admitted to Paradise to him.The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: "Did he not stay behind for a year?" They said: "Yes." He said: "And did not Ramadan come and he fasted, and he offered such and such prayers during that year?" They said: "Yes." The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: "The difference between them is greater than the difference between heaven and earth." (Sahih)
