The hadith of 'Abd Allah ibn Shaddad that a group of three from Banu 'Udhrah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and embraced Islam

The Shaykh : After that, he mentioned another hadith, which is also authentic, and it contains some additional detail compared to the previous hadith. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It was narrated from 'Abd Allah ibn Shaddad that a group of three from Banu 'Udhrah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and embraced Islam. He said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Talhah, who was mentioned in the first hadith, said: 'I will.' He said: So they stayed with Talhah. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out a military expedition, and one of them went out with it and was martyred. It is possible that this is the man mentioned in the previous hadith, and that is the most likely, or it could be another man. Then he sent out another expedition, and another one of them went out with it and was martyred. Then the third one died in his bed. Talhah said: 'I saw these three who had been with me in Paradise. I saw the one who died in his bed ahead of them, and I saw the one who was martyred last following him, and I saw the first of them as the last of them.' He said: 'This troubled me, so I went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned it to him. He said: ' It was narrated by Ahmad and Abu Ya'la, and their narrators are the narrators of authentic collections. In its beginning, according to Ahmad, it is mursal (missing the Companion link) as mentioned earlier, and Abu Ya'la connected it by mentioning Talhah in it.
As mentioned earlier, there is some ambiguity in it, because nothing was explicitly stated about the person to whom it refers. However, in reality, this becomes clear to one who knows the biographies of the hadith narrators. Because this hadith begins from 'Abd Allah ibn Shaddad regarding a group from Banu 'Udhrah, if we know that this 'Abd Allah ibn Shaddad is the son of al-Had, a Tabi'i (successor), we see that it is mursal in the hadith. Because he said that a group from Banu 'Udhrah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and since 'Abd Allah ibn Shaddad is a Tabi'i, he did not witness the event or the story. Therefore, the hadith is mursal. So when the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his takhrij (tracing) that in its beginning, according to Ahmad, it is mursal, he is referring to this aspect. That is, he is saying: 'Abd Allah ibn Shaddad is a Tabi'i, so he did not witness the story; therefore, the hadith is mursal. For this reason, he adds after saying "as mentioned earlier": "and Abu Ya'la connected it by mentioning Talhah in it."
As we said, the story may be the same as the previous one, but it contains some detail. It is possible that it is another story, and the first possibility is the most likely. In it, it shows that the Muslim, the later he is, the greater his reward and the more his reward. The evidence is that the martyr who was martyred after the first one was ahead of the first one, and this third one who was not martyred was ahead of the two martyrs.
Therefore, the life of a Muslim, no matter how long his life is, as long as he lives within the circle of Islam and strives against his self and his desires, the longer his life is, the better it is for him.
And we ask Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to prolong our lives and to make our deeds good. This is sufficient for now, and all praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
