أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ حُمَيْدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبَرَهُ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ زَوْجَيْنِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ نُودِيَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ،‏‏‏‏ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏هَذَا خَيْرٌ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّلَاةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَاب:‏‏‏‏ الصَّلَاةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجِهَادِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَاب:‏‏‏‏ الْجِهَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَاب:‏‏‏‏ الصَّدَقَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصِّيَامِ دُعِيَ مِنْ بَاب:‏‏‏‏ الرَّيَّانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ:‏‏‏‏ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا عَلَى الَّذِي يُدْعَى مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَبْوَابِ كُلِّهَا مِنْ ضَرُورَةٍ هَلْ يُدْعَى أَحَدٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَبْوَابِ كُلِّهَا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Whoever spends on a pair (of things) in the cause of Allah, he will be called in Paradise: 'O slave of Allah, here is prosperity.' Whoever is one of those who pray, he will be called from the gate of Paradise. Whoever is one of those who participated in Jihad, he will be called from the gate of Paradise. Whoever is one of those who fast, he will be called from the gate of Ar-Rayyan. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq رضی اللہ عنہ said: O Messenger of Allah! No distress, or need will befall the one who is called from those gates. Will there be anyone who will be called from all these gates? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Yes, and I hope that you will be one of them.

Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ used to narrate that

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ مُرَّةَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ لِيُذْكَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيَغْنَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيُرَى مَكَانُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَنْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ .

A Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: 'A man fights for fame, or he fights for the spoils of war, or he fights to show off. Who is the one who is fighting in the cause of Allah?' He said: 'The one who fights so that the word of Allah will be supreme is the one who is fighting in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.'

Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ تَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ:‏‏‏‏ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ حَدِّثْنِي حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَوَّلُ النَّاسِ يُقْضَى لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثَلَاثَةٌ:‏‏‏‏ رَجُلٌ اسْتُشْهِدَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَعَرَّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَرَفَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَاتَلْتُ فِيكَ حَتَّى اسْتُشْهِدْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَذَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّكَ قَاتَلْتَ لِيُقَالَ فُلَانٌ جَرِيءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَدْ قِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أُمِرَ بِهِ فَسُحِبَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَجُلٌ تَعَلَّمَ الْعِلْمَ وَعَلَّمَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَعَرَّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَرَفَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَمَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ تَعَلَّمْتُ الْعِلْمَ وَعَلَّمْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَرَأْتُ فِيكَ الْقُرْآنَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَذَبْتَ وَلَكِنَّكَ تَعَلَّمْتَ الْعِلْمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لِيُقَالَ عَالِمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ لِيُقَالَ قَارِئٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَدْ قِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أُمِرَ بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسُحِبَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَجُلٌ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعْطَاهُ مِنْ أَصْنَافِ الْمَالِ كُلِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَعَرَّفَهُ نِعَمَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَرَفَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا عَمِلْتَ فِيهَا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا تَرَكْتُ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ تُحِبُّ ؟ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ:‏‏‏‏ وَلَمْ أَفْهَمْ تُحِبُّ كَمَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ يُنْفَقَ فِيهَا إِلَّا أَنْفَقْتُ فِيهَا لَكَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَذَبْتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ لِيُقَالَ إِنَّهُ جَوَادٌ فَقَدْ قِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أُمِرَ بِهِ فَسُحِبَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ .

One of the people of Ash-Sham said to him: O Shaikh, tell me of a Hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). (He said: Yes; I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)) say: 'The first of people for whom judgment will be passed on the Day of Resurrection are three. A man who was martyred. He will be brought and Allah will remind him of His blessings and he will acknowledge them. He will say: What did you do with them? He will say: I fought for Your sake until I was martyred. He will say: You are lying. You fought so that it would be said that so-and-so is brave, and it was said. Then He will order that he be dragged on his face and thrown into the Fire. And (the second will be) a man who acquired knowledge and taught others,and read Qur'an. He will be brought, and Allah will remind him of His blessings, and he will acknowledge them. He will say: What did you do with them? He will say: I acquired knowledge and taught others, and read the Qur'an for Your sake. He will say: You are lying. You acquired knowledge so that it would be said that you were a scholar; and you read Qur'an so that it would be said that you were a reciter, and it was said. Then He will order that he be dragged on his face and thrown into the Fire. And (the third will be) a man whom Allah made rich and gave him all kinds of wealth. He will be brought and Allah will remind him of His blessings, and he will acknowledge them. he will say: What did you do with them? He will say: I did not leave any way that You like wealth to be spent - Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: I did not understand what You like as I wanted to [1] - but I spent it. He will say: You are lying. You spent it so that it would be said that he was generous, and it was said. Then he will order that he be dragged on his face and thrown into the Fire.' [1] That is, he did not hear or understand what came after it as well as he wanted to, but it was similar to what follows regarding the spending. Similar was stated by Shaikh 'Abdur-Rahman Al-punjani in his notes on the text, according to Al-Funjani in his commentary At-Ta'iqat As-Salafiyyah (2:51)

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَنْوِ إِلَّا عِقَالًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَهُ مَا نَوَى .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever fights in the cause of Allah intending only to get an 'Iqal, he will have what he intended.

It was narrated from Yahya bin Al-Walid bin 'Ubadah bin As-Samit رضی الله عنہ that his grandfather said

أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ،‏‏‏‏ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ غَزَا وَهُوَ لَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا عِقَالًا فَلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَا نَوَى .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Whoever fights seeking only an 'Iqbal, then he will have what he intended.

It was narrated from 'Ubadah bin As-Samit رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ هِلَالٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِمْيَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شَدَّادٍ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا غَزَا يَلْتَمِسُ الْأَجْرَ وَالذِّكْرَ مَالَهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا شَيْءَ لَهُ ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَعَادَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا شَيْءَ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَقْبَلُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ لَهُ خَالِصًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَابْتُغِيَ بِهِ وَجْهُهُ .

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: 'What do you think of a man who fights seeking reward and fame - what will he have?' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'He will not have anything.' He repeated it three times, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: 'He will not have anything.' Then he said: 'Allah does not accept any deed, except that which is purely for Him, and seeking His Face.'

It was narrated that Abu 'Umamah Al-Bahili رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ حَجَّاجًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ يُخَامِرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ فَوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ الْقَتْلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ نَفْسِهِ صَادِقًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَهُ أَجْرُ شَهِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ نُكِبَ نَكْبَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّهَا تَجِيءُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَغْزَرِ مَا كَانَتْ لَوْنُهَا كَالزَّعْفَرَانِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرِيحُهَا كَالْمِسْكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَلَيْهِ طَابَعُ الشُّهَدَاءِ .

He heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: Whoever fights in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, for the length of time between two milkings of a she-camel, Paradise is guaranteed for him. Whoever asks Allah to be killed (in Jihad) sincerely, from his heart, then he dies or is killed, he will have the reward of a martyr. Whoever is wounded or injured in the cause of Allah, it will come on the Day of Resurrection bleeding the most it ever bled, but its color will be like saffron, and its fragrance will be like musk. Whoever is wounded in the cause of Allah, upon him is the seal of the martyrs.

Mu'adh bin Jabal رضی الله عنہ said that

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَفْوَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا عَمْرُو:‏‏‏‏ حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بَلَغَ الْعَدُوَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ كَانَ لَهُ كَعِتْقِ رَقَبَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُؤْمِنَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَتْ لَهُ فِدَاءَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عُضْوًا بِعُضْوٍ .

He said to 'Amr bin 'Abasah: O 'Amr! Tell us a Hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Whoever develops one gray hair in the cause of Allah, Most High, it will be light for him on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever shoots an arrow in the cause of Allah, Most High, whether it reaches the enemy or not, it will be as if he freed a slave. Whoever frees a believing slave, it will be a ransom for him from the Fire, limb by limb.'

It was narrated from Shurahbil bin As-Simt that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ السَّلَمِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ بَلَغَ بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهُوَ لَهُ دَرَجَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ،‏‏‏‏ فَبَلَّغْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ سَهْمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهُوَ عِدْلُ مُحَرَّرٍ .

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Whoever shoots an arrow in the cause of Allah and it hits the target, it will raise him one level in Paradise.' That day I shot sixteen arrows that hit their targets. He said: And I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Whoever shoots an arrow in the cause of Allah, it is equal to the reward of freeing a slave.'

It was narrated that Abu Najih As-Sulami رضی الله عنہsaid

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لِكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا كَعْبُ حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحْذَرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ حَدِّثْنَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحْذَرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ ارْمُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَنْ بَلَغَ الْعَدُوَّ بِسَهْمٍ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ ابْنُ النَّحَّامِ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الدَّرَجَةُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِعَتَبَةِ أُمِّكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ مَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ مِائَةُ عَامٍ .

He said to Ka'b bin Murrah رضی اللہ عنہ : O Ka'b! Tell us a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and be careful. He said: I heard him say: 'Whoever develops one gray hair in Islam, in the cause of Allah, it will be light for him on the Day of Resurrection.' He said to him: Tell us about the Prophet (ﷺ) and be careful. He said: I heard him say: 'Shoot, and whoever hits the enemy with an arrow, Allah will raise him one degree in status thereby.' Ibn An-Nahhan said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is a degree?' He said: 'It is not like the doorstep of your mother; [1] rather (the distance) between two degrees is (that if) a hundred years.'

It was narrated that Shurahbil bin As-Simt

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ خَالِدًا يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الشَّامِيّ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا عَمْرُو بْنَ عَبَسَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَيْسَ فِيهِ نِسْيَانٌ وَلَا تَنَقُّصٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَلَغَ الْعَدُوَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْطَأَ أَوْ أَصَابَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَ لَهُ كَعِدْلِ رَقَبَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً مُسْلِمَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَ فِدَاءُ كُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عُضْوًا مِنْهُ مِنْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ .

I said: 'O 'Amr bin 'Abasah! Tell us a Hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) without forgetting or omitting anything.' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Whoever shoots an arrow in the cause of Allah, and it reaches the enemy, whether it misses or hits, it will be as if he freed slave. Whoever frees a believing slave, that will be a ransom for him, limb by limb, from the Fire of Hell. Whoever develops a gray hair in the cause of Allah, it will be light for him on the Day of Resurrection.

It was narrated that Shurahbil bin As-Simt said

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ جَابِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ الْأَسْوَدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُدْخِلُ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صُنْعِهِ الْخَيْرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُنَبِّلَهُ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will admit three people into Paradise for one arrow: The one who makes it, intending it to be used for a good cause, the one who shoots it, and one who passes it to him.

It was narrated from 'Uqbah bin 'Amir رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يُكْلَمُ أَحَدٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ يُكْلَمُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَجُرْحُهُ يَثْعَبُ دَمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏اللَّوْنُ لَوْنُ دَمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالرِّيحُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: No one is wounded in the cause of Allah - and Allah knows best who is wounded in His cause - but he will come on the Day of Resurrection with his wounds bleeding the color of blood, but with the fragrance of musk.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ زَمِّلُوهُمْ بِدِمَائِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَلْمٌ يُكْلَمُ فِي اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا أَتَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ جُرْحُهُ يَدْمَى لَوْنُهُ لَوْنُ دَمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرِيحُهُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Wrap them up with their blood, for there is no wound incurred in the cause of Allah, but he will come on the Day of Resurrection bleeding with the color of blood, but its fragrance will be that of musk.'

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Tha'labah رضی الله عنہ said

On the day of Uhud, the people ran away, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in one position among twelve men of the Ansar, one of whom was Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah رضی اللہ عنہ. He said: 'Who will face the people?' Talhah رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'I will.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Stay where you are.' One of the Ansar said: 'I will, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).' He said: 'You (go ahead).' So he fought until he was killed. Then he turned and saw the idolators. He said: 'Who will face the people?' Talhah رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'I will'. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Stay where you are.' One of the Ansar said: 'I will, O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).' He said: 'You (go ahead).' So he fought until he was killed. This carried on, and each man of the Ansar went out to face them and fought like the one before him, and was killed, until only the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and Talhah bin 'Ubaidullah رضی اللہ عنہ were left. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Who will face the people?' Talhah رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'I will.' So Talhah رضی اللہ عنہ fought like the eleven before him, until his hand was struck, and his fingers were cut off, and he exclaimed in pain. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'If you had said Bismillah (in the Name of Allah), the angels would have lifted you up with the people looking on.' Then Allah drove back the idolaters.

It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah رضی الله عنہما said

On the day of Khaibar, my brother fought fiercely alongside the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), then his sword recoiled upon him and killed him. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), complaining about that, said: 'A man has died by his own weapon.' Salamah رضی اللہ عنہ said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) returned from Khaibar and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you permit me to recite some lines of Rajaz verse to you?' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave him permission but 'Umar bin Al-Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ , said: Think what you are saying. I said: 'By Allah, if Allah had not guided us we would not have been guided We would not have given in charity nor prayed' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'You have spoken the truth.' (I continued:) 'Send down tranquility upon us, And make us steadfast when we meet the enemy. For the idolators have transgressed against us.' When I completed my Rajaz verse, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Who said that?' I said: 'My brother.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'May Allah have mercy on him.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, some people are afraid to offer the (funeral) prayer for him, and they are saying that he is a man who died by his own weapon.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'He died striving as a Mujahid.' Ibn Shihab said: Then I asked a son of Salamah bin Al-Akwa' رضی اللہ عنہ , and he narrated a similar report to me from his father, except that he said: 'When I said: Some people are afraid to offer the (funeral) prayer for him, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: They lied. He died striving as Mujahid, and he will have a twofold reward, and he gestured with two of his fingers.'

Salamah bin Al-Akwa' رضی اللہ عنہ said

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Were it not that it would be too difficult for my Ummah, I would not have stayed behind from any expedition. But they could not find mounts, and I could not find any mounts for them, and it would be too hard for them to stay behind when I went out. And I wish that I could be killed in the cause of Allah, then brought back to life, then killed, then brought back to life, then killed, three times.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْلَا أَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَا تَطِيبُ أَنْفُسُهُمْ بِأَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا عَنِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَا تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْ سَرِيَّةٍ تَغْزُو فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أُحْيَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أُحْيَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ .

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, were it not that some men among the believers would not like to stay behind when I went out (to fight), and I could not find any mounts for them, I would not have stayed behind from any campaign that fought in the cause of Allah. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I wish that I could be killed in the cause of Allah, then brought back to life, then killed, then be brought back to life, then killed.'

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ said

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: There is no Muslim soul among the people that is taken by its Lord and wishes it could come back to you, even if it had this world and everything in it, except the martyr. Ibn Abi 'Amirah said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'If I were to be killed in the cause of Allah, that would be dearer to me that if all the people of the deserts and the cities were to be mine.' Meaning: If they were all my slaves and I set them free.

It was narrated from Ibn Abi 'Amirah رضی الله عنہ that

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was delivering a Khutbah from the Minbar, and he said: 'If I fight in the cause of Allah with patience and seeking reward, facing the enemy and not running away, do you think that Allah will forgive my sins?' He said: 'Yes.' Then he fell silent for a while. Then he said: 'Where is the one who was asking just now?' The man said: 'Here I am.' He said: 'What did you say?' He said: 'What did you say?' He said: 'I said: I said: If I fight in the cause of Allah with patience and seeking reward, facing the enemy and not running away, do you think that Allah will forgive my sins?' He said: 'Yes, except for debt. Jibril told me that just now.'

He repeated his question, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Yes, except debt. Jibril told me.'

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah رضی الله عنہ that his father said

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يُحَدِّثُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَامَ فِيهِمْ فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْإِيمَانَ بِاللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَفْضَلُ الْأَعْمَالِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَيُكَفِّرُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ،‏‏‏‏ إِنْ قُتِلْتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأَنْتَ صَابِرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مُحْتَسِبٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مُقْبِلٌ غَيْرُ مُدْبِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا الدَّيْنَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام قَالَ لِي ذَلِكَ .

He heard Abu Qatadah رضی الله عنہ narrate from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), that he stood up among them and said that Jihad in the cause of Allah and belief in Allah are the best of deeds. Then a man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah, if I am killed in the cause of Allah, will Allah forgive my sins? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Yes, if you are killed in the cause of Allah, and you are patient and seek reward, and you are facing the enemy, not running way - except for debt. Jibril (peace be upon him) told me that.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Qatadah رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ ضَرَبْتُ بِسَيْفِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ صَابِرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مُحْتَسِبًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَيُكَفِّرُ اللَّهُ عَنِّي خَطَايَايَ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ دَعَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا جِبْرِيلُ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ دَيْنٌ .

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) when he was on the Minbar and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you think that if I wield this sword of mine in the cause of Allah, with patience and seeking reward, facing the enemy, and not running away, will Allah forgive my sins?' He said: 'Yes.' When he turned away, he called him back and said: 'Jibril says: unless you are in debt.'

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah رضی الله عنہ that his father said

أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُمَيْعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ حَدَّثَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ نَفْسٍ تَمُوتُ وَلَهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَلَهَا الدُّنْيَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا الْقَتِيلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّهُ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَيُقْتَلَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: There is no soul on Earth that dies, and is in a good position before Allah, that would like to come back to you, even if it had all this world, except the one who is killed (in the cause of Allah); he wishes that he could come back and be killed again.
