BEAUTIFUL HADITH #RAMADHAN

Talha bin ‘Ubaidullah
(radyAllahu ‘anhu) narrated that two men came
to the Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alayhi wa
sallam) and became Muslim together. After
accepting Islam one of them would strive harder
than the other. The one who used to strive harder
went out to fight in the way of Allah and was
martyred. The other man who accepted Islam at
the same time as the martyr lived a year longer,
then he also passed away.
Later Talha reported that he saw in a dream that
he was at the gate of Paradise and he saw those
two men that had died. Then through the gates of
Paradise someone came out and admitted the one
who had died last into Jannah, then he came out
again and admitted the one who died first as a
martyr. Then he came back to Talha and said:
‘Go back, for your time has not yet come.’”
The next morning, Talha told the people of the
dream and they were amazed. News of that
reached the Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu
alayhi wa sallam) and they told him the story.
The Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Why are you so amazed at that?”
They said: “O Messenger of Allah, the first one
was the one who strove harder, and he died a
martyr in the cause of Allah, but the other man
(who didn't strive as hard and was not a martyr)
was admitted to Paradise before him?"
The Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alayhi wa
sallam) said: “Did he (the second man) not live
for another year?” They said: “Yes.”
The Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam)
asked: “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 (salla Allahu alayhi wa
sallam) said: “The difference between them is
greater than the difference between the heaven
and the earth.” ~ [Collected by Ibn Majah]
