This hadith is for those who understand the Great high status of a
mujahid & a shaheed in Islam -

Talha's dream

Talha ibn ‘Ubaydallah (radhiallahu `anhu) reported that two men came
to the Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) who had accepted Islam
at the same time. One of them used to partake in Jihad more-so than
the other, and so (one day) he fought in a battle and was martyred
therein. The other remained behind him for another year, and then he
passed away.

Talha said, ‘I saw in my dream that I was at the door of Paradise when
behold, I was with both of them (the two men).
Someone came out of
Paradise and allowed the man who passed away later to enter first.
Then he came out again and allowed the martyred one to enter. Then he
returned and said to me, ‘Go back, for your time has not come yet.’

Talha woke up and began to inform others about this and they were all
surprised. This reached the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu `alayhi wa
sallam) and when they informed him of it, he said:

من أي ذلك تعجبون؟ قالوا: يا رسول اللهّ هذا كان أشد الرجلين اجتهاداً ثم
استشهد ودخل هذا الآخر الجنة قبله فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم) :
أليس قد مكث هذا بعده سنة؟ قالوا: بلى. قال: أدرك رمضان فصام وصلى كذا
وكذا من سجدة في السنة؟ قالوا: بلى. قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وسلم):
فما بينهما أبعد مما بين السماء والأرض

He (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘What are you surprised
about?’ They said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Out of them both, this one
strove harder (in Jihad) then he was martyred but this other one was
entered into Paradise before him.’ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu
`alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘Did he not remain behind him for one year?’
They said, ‘Yes (he did).’ He said, ‘Did he not reach Ramadan, fast
and pray with such and such number of prostrations in the year?’ They
said, ‘Yes.’ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam)
said, ‘So the difference between them is greater than what is between
the heavens and the earth.’
