GUARDING IN JIHAD IS BETTER THAN A MONTH'S FASTING
1318
“He (Salman) heard the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, say, ‘Guarding the frontier for a day and a night is better than fasting a month and its standing prayer. If he is slain during it, the reward for his deeds will continue for that which he used to do, and the same is for his provision. He will be secure from the inquisition of the tomb.’"
Muslim with a chain up to Salman who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
