Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we performed the morning prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). During the prayer, while he (peace be upon him) was praying, he extended his hand and then withdrew it. When he (peace be upon him) finished the prayer, we said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you did something in this prayer that you have never done in any prayer before." He (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, I saw Paradise; it was shown to me. I saw that its fruits and produce were near and hanging low, and its fruit was as large and fresh as a gourd. So I wanted to take some of its fruits, but Paradise was commanded to withdraw, so it withdrew. Then Hell was shown to me between me and you, until I saw my shadow and your shadow. I gestured to you to move back, but it was revealed to me that I should keep them (the Companions) steadfast, for you (O Prophet) are also Muslim and they have also accepted Islam. You migrated and they also migrated. You fought in jihad and they also participated in jihad. So I found no superiority over you except Prophethood."
