Narrated Ubaydullah ibn Khalid as-Sulami: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم made a brotherhood between two men, one of whom was killed (in Allah's path), and a week or thereabouts later the other died, and we prayed at his funeral). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asked: What did you say? We replied: We prayed for him and said: O Allah, forgive him, and join him to his companion. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: What about his prayers since the time the other died, and his fasting since the time the other died--the narrator Shubah doubted the words, his fasting--and his deeds since the time the other died. The distance between them is just like the distance between heaven and earth.

I, therefore, sought a hireling who would serve instead of me, and I would give him his portion. So I found a man. When the time of departure arrived, he came to me and said: I do not know what would be the portions, and how much would be my portion. So offer something (as wages) to me, whether there would be any portion or not. I offered three dinars (as his wages) for him. When some booty arrived, I wanted to offer him his portion. But I remembered the dinars, so I went to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and mentioned the matter to him. He said: All I can find for him regarding this expedition of his in this world and the next is three dinars which were offered him.
