حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا دُوَيْدٌ عَنْ سَلْمِ بْنِ بَشِي
رٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْتَقَى مُؤْمِنَانِ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ مُؤْمِنٌ غَنِيٌّ وَمُؤْمِنٌ فَقِيرٌ كَانَا فِي الدُّنْيَا فَأُدْخِلَ الْفَقِيرُ الْجَنَّةَ وَحُبِسَ الْغَنِيُّ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُحْبَسَ ثُمَّ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَلَقِيَهُ الْفَقِيرُ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ أَخِي مَاذَا حَبَسَكَ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ احْتُبِسْتَ حَتَّى خِفْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ أَخِي إِنِّي حُبِسْتُ بَعْدَكَ مَحْبِسًا فَظِيعًا كَرِيهًا وَمَا وَصَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى سَالَ مِنِّي الْعَرَقُ مَا لَوْ وَرَدَهُ أَلْفُ بَعِيرٍ كُلُّهَا آكِلَةُ حَمْضٍ لَصَدَرَتْ عَنْهُ رِوَاءً

English Translation
Husayn narrated to us, Duwayd narrated to us, from Salm ibn Bashir, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) who said: the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Two believers will meet at the gate of Paradise — a believer who was alive and used to pray for his brother who had died. The dead one will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and will say: O Lord, my brother used to pray for me after my death, so forgive him. It will be said to the living one: Enter Paradise, and what an excellent intercessor your brother was for you.'
