Hadith 5071

Abdullah ibn Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A group of three men from Bani Udhrah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and embraced Islam. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Who will clothe them?" Talhah said: "I will." So they were with him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) sent an expedition, and one of them went out and was martyred. Then he sent another expedition, and the second went out and was martyred, then the third died on his bed. Talhah said: "I saw these three who are in Paradise, and I saw the one who died on his bed ahead of them, and the one martyred last next to him, and the first of them last next to him, and their leader next to him. This affected me, so I mentioned it to the Prophet (ﷺ), and he said: 'What did you find strange in that? No one is better with Allah than a believer who lives long in Islam for his glorification, magnification, and declaration of Allah's oneness.'"
