MARTYRDOM

1321

“Whosoever goes forth in His Way: 'Emerging only to fight in My Cause and believing in Me and by believing in the Messengers, I will guarantee to let him enter Paradise or bring him back to the home from which he came together with the reward or spoils.' By Him in whose Hands is the life of Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, there is no wound endured in the Way of Allah except that it will appear on the Day of Judgement in the same condition in which it was on the day when it was endured, its color will be the color of blood yet its aroma will be like the fragrance of musk."

By Him in whose Hands is the life of Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, if it was not that it would be hard upon Muslims, I would not hold back any army whatsoever that goes forth to fight in the Way of Allah; but I do not have not the means to provide rides for them nor do they, and it would be hard on them to remain behind while I went forth.

By Him in whose Hands is the life of Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, I would wish to fight in the Way of Allah and be martyred, and to fight again and be martyred and to fight again and be martyred.”

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
