DAILY HADITH

The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and his companions reached Badr before the Mushriks. When the Mushriks came Allah’s Messenger said to his companions: “Let us go to a Jannah whose breadth is that of the heavens and the earth.” ‘Umayr b. al-Hummam al-Ansaari exclaimed: “O Allah’s Messenger, a Jannah whose breadth is that of the heavens and the earth?” He said: “Yes.” So Umayr responded: “How amazing!” So Allah’s Messenger asked him: “what made you say that?” He said: “O Allah’s Messenger, by Allah I did not say this except for the hope that I will be from its inhabitants. ” Then he صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Indeed you are from its inhabitants.” ‘Umayr took out some dates from his quiver and began to eat them. He then said to himself: “If I live to finish eating these dates then indeed this would be long life.” So he threw the rest of the dates in his hand and began to fight the disbelievers until he was killed.
