Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ شَقِيقٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَالًا فَقَالَ يَا بِلَالُ بِمَ سَبَقْتَنِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ الْبَارِحَةَ فَسَمِعْتُ خَشْخَشَتَكَ أَمَامِي فَأَتَيْتُ عَلَى قَصْرٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُرَبَّعٍ فَقُلْتُ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ قَالُوا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ قُلْتُ فَأَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ قَالُو لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ الْعَرَبِ قُلْتُ أَنَا عَرَبِيٌّ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ قَالُوا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قُلْتُ فَأَنَا قُرَشِيٌّ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْقَصْرُ قَالُوا لَعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَذَّنْتُ قَطُّ إِلَّا صَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَمَا أَصَابَنِي حَدَثٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا تَوَضَّأْتُ عِنْدَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَذَا.
English Translation
Ali ibn al-Hasan, that is Ibn Shaqiq, told us: al-Husayn ibn Waqid told us: Ibn Buraydah told us, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, called for Bilal and said: O Bilal, with what have you preceded me into Paradise? I entered Paradise last night and heard your footsteps ahead of me, and I came upon a square palace of gold, and I said: Whose palace is this? They said: A man of the nation of Muhammad. I said: I am Muhammad - whose palace is this? They said: A man of the Arabs. I said: I am an Arab - whose palace is this? They said: A man of Quraysh. I said: I am of Quraysh - whose palace is this? They said: Umar ibn al-Khattab's. Bilal said: O Messenger of Allah, I have never given the call to prayer without praying two rak'ahs, and no state requiring purification has ever come upon me without my performing ablution for it. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It is by this.
