This hadith is not complete, that why I ask you all maybe someone got the complete one and can explain the meaning. wa iyyaki |
Ok, so this morning I did some research after Fajr and I looked up Fath al-Baari for the Sharh of this hadeeth. The complete Hadeeth goes :
عن أبي هريرة أن النبي قال لبلال " يا بلال حدتني بأرجى عمل عملته في الإسلام فإني سمعت دف نعليك بين يدي في الجنة" قال "ما عملت عملا أرجى عندي أني لم أتطهر طهورا في ساعة ليل أو نهارا إلا صليت بذالك الطهور ما كتب لي أن أصلي"
From Abi Hurairah that Rasulullah said to Bilaal
"O Bilaal Tell me of the most favorable Deed you have done in Islaam for verily I heard the fall of your shoes in front of me in Jannah" So He (Bilaal) Said " I have not done a Deed more favorable to me except that there is not One time that I purify myself (i.e. Wudhoo) Whether it is at day or at night except that after I purify myself I pray those prayers which were prescribed for me to pray (i.e. voluntary prayers) "
Al-Karmaani said " From what we see from this hadeeth is that Rasulullah peace be upon him heard Bilaals footsteps in His (sallallahu alahi wa sallam) Sleep , Because no one enters Jannah except after death. And it is possible also that Rasulullah heard Bilaals footsteps whilst he was awake because we know that Rasulullah entered Jannah duringst the night of Mi'raaj.
As for Bilaal, this hadeeth does not necessitate him entering Jannah before Rasulullah because when Rasulullah said "
In Jannah" this is merely where the Hearing took place, i.e. Rasulullah was
In Jannah But the footsteps of Bilaal were actually
Outside of Jannah.
Princess I copied some notes from Fath al-Baari relating to this but I'm having difficulty translating them, do you mind seeing if you can understand it better than me Insha'allah? Here it is :
و لا يلزم دخوله الجنة قبل النبي لأنه في مقام التابع وكأنه أشار إلى بقاء بلال على ما كان عليه في حال حياته واستمراره على قرب منزلته
