Did you know that you could earn a place in Jannah before a Shaheed ( Martyr)? You and me could enter Paradise before a Shaheed! Wallahee when i heard about this Hadith, I just had to share it with everyone.. Talha ibn ‘Ubaydallah (r.a) reported that two men came to the Prophet (S.A.W) who had accepted Islam at the same time. One of them used to partake in Jihad more-sothan the other, and so (one day) he fought in a battle and was martyred therein. The other remained behind him for another year, and then he passed away. Talha said, ‘I saw in my dream that I was at the door of Paradise when behold, I was withboth of them (the two men). Someone came out of Paradise and allowed the man who passed away later to enter first. Then he came out again and allowed the martyred one to enter. Then he returned and said to me, ‘Go back, for your time has not come yet.’ Talha (r.a) woke up and began to inform others about this and they were all surprised. This reached the Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) and when they informed him of it, He (S.A.W) said: ‘What are you surprised about?’ They said, ‘O Messenger of ALLAH! Out of themboth, this one strove harder (in Jihad) then hewas martyred but this other one was entered into Paradise before him.’ The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said, ‘Did he not remain behind him for one year?’ They said, ‘Yes (he did).’ He (S.A.W) said, ‘Did he not reach Ramadan, fast and pray with such and such number of prostrations in the year?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said, ‘So the difference between them is greater than what is between the heavens and the earth.’ - Sahih narration from Ibn Majah (2/345, 346)and al-Albani’s ‘al-Silsilah al-Sahihah’ ..Muslimah..
