The Devotion of Bilal

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was told that Bilal's good deeds had preceded him to Paradise, and he praised Bilal for his devotion to prayer and cleanliness.

Narrated Abu Buraidah: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ awoke in the morning and called for Bilal, then said: 'O Bilal! By what have you preceded me to Paradise? I have not entered Paradise at all, except that I heard your footsteps before me. I entered Paradise last night, and I heard your footsteps before me, and I came upon a square palace having balconies made of gold. So I said: 'Whose palace is this?' They said: 'A man among the Arabs'. So I said: 'I am an Arab, whose palace is this?' They said: 'A man among the Quraish'. So I said: 'I am from the Quraish, whose palace is this?' They said: 'A man from the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ'. So I said: 'I am Muhammad, whose palace is this?' They said: ''Umar bin Al-Khattab's'. So Bilal said: 'O Allah's Messenger! I have never called the Adhan except that I prayed two Rak'ah, and I never committed Hadath except that I performed Wudu upon that, and I considered that I owed Allah two Rak'ah'. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'For those two'."

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the devotion of Bilal, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. It is narrated by Abu Buraidah that one morning, the Prophet asked for Bilal and then praised him for his dedication to prayer and cleanliness. He said that because of these two qualities, Bilal's footsteps were heard in paradise before anyone else's. This hadith teaches us the importance of being devoted to our prayers and maintaining a high level of cleanliness in order to be rewarded with paradise in the hereafter. It also shows us how much Allah appreciates those who are devoted to Him and His teachings. We should strive to emulate this example set by Bilal so we can be rewarded with paradise as well.
