1987. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Maimūn from 'Abdullāh bin
Rubayy'ah As-Sulamî, who was also one of the Companions of Allâh's Messenger ﷺ, from 'Ubaid bin Khâlid As-Sulamî, that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ established the bond of brotherhood between two men. One of them was killed and the other died after him. We offered the funeral prayer for him, and the Prophet ﷺ said: "What did you say?" They said: "O Allâh, forgive him; O Allâh, have mercy on him; O Allâh, join him with his companion." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Where is his Salâh in comparison to his companion's Salâh? Where are his deeds in comparison to his companion's deeds? Indeed the difference between them is as great as that between heaven and Earth." (One of the narrators) 'Amr bin Maimûn said: "I was happy with that because he raised it for me."[1] (Hasan)

[1] It appears that he means, the one whom he narrated it from was a Companion, so he was pleased that he heard it from a Companion. And Allâh knows best.
Commentary
In the narration, the mentor of 'Amr bin Maimûn is a Companion, and he is transmitting from yet another Companion. Even if one Companion does not mention the link of another Companion, the chain of transmission rank of the narration does not become weak. The mentor of the link is commendable. That is why Imrân bin Husain expressed his delight upon this narration.
