Hadith 33:1485

Hushaym narrated to us, he said: Yunus ibn Ubayd informed us, he said: Al-Hasan narrated to us that two men from the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, one of them died a week before the other. They favored the one who died, and in their souls, he was better than the other. That was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said: "Did the other not remain after the first for a week, praying such and such prayers?" It was as if he favored the one who remained.

حدثنا هشيم قال أخبرنا يونس بن عبيد قال حدثنا الحسن أن رجلين من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مات أحدهما قبل صاحبه بجمعة ففضلوا الذي مات وكان في أنفسهم أفضل من الآخر فذكر ذلك لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال أليس بقي الآخر بعد الأول جمعة صلى كذا وكذا صلاة قال فكأنه فضل الباقي
