Explanation of the Hadith of Abu Hurayrah, Number (45): There were two men from Baly - a tribe of Quda'ah - who embraced Islam with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)

The Shaykh : Now we will read to you the hadith with the number in our copy, and it is a valid hadith, and it is his saying: And from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: There were two men from Baly - a tribe of Quda'ah - who embraced Islam with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so one of them was martyred and the other was delayed by a year. Talhah ibn 'Ubayd Allah said: I saw the one who was delayed among them enter Paradise before the martyr.
Similarly, here a phrase has dropped out, either from the author or from the scribe or the printer, which is: "I was shown Paradise," so the phrase becomes: Talhah ibn 'Ubayd Allah said: "I was shown Paradise, so I saw the one who was delayed among them." That is, he saw in a dream that he entered Paradise or saw Paradise, and he saw in it this man who was delayed in death compared to the martyr. He said: "He was admitted to Paradise before the martyr." So I was astonished by that, so I woke up, and I mentioned it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Thus - also - here is the phrase, and its correct form is as in the source of the hadith: "So I mentioned that to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ." Ahmad narrated it with a good chain, and Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban in his "Sahih," and al-Bayhaqi all narrated it from Talhah in a similar form, longer than this. And Ibn Majah and Ibn Hibban added at the end: .
This hadith is in fact a historical and realistic explanation of that valid hadith: . So these are two men who embraced Islam in the era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so one of them was martyred, dying in the path of Allah as a martyr, and the other lived for a full year after him. Talhah ibn 'Ubayd Allah - who is one of the ten promised Paradise, as is well known - saw Paradise in a dream, and he saw in it that man who was delayed in death and who did not die as a martyr; he saw him having entered Paradise; that is, before the one who died as a martyr. So the reality is that, as he said, he was astonished by that; because it is assumed that the martyr is the first to enter, so his astonishment was at what he saw being contrary to what he had supposed; where he saw the one delayed in death without being martyred precede the one who died as a martyr in entering Paradise...
