truthful and martyrs
-
1 To reach the ranks of the truthful and the martyrs
Abu Hurayrah ( may Allah be pleased with him ) narrated:
that two men from Bali from the tribe of Qudhaaʻah embraced Islam with the Messenger of Allah, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. One of them died as a martyr for the Sake of Allah and the other remained alive for another year and then passed away. Talha ibn ʻUbaydillaah ( may Allah be pleased with him ) said: "I dreamed that the person who died last entered Paradise before the martyr. Therefore, I was astonished! I mentioned this to the Prophet ( may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) or this was mentioned to him, so he said: "Did the second not fast in Ramadan one year after him? Did he not perform six-thousand Rak’ahs and so and so Rak’ahs in voluntary prayers?"
