MARTYRDOM H 25 "There are two types of people with whom Allah is greatly pleased, and they are the victim and the killer who enter Paradise. The first example is the one who was killed fighting the other in the cause of Allah and is in Paradise. The second is the one whom Allah turns to in His Mercy so that he embraces Islam and then is martyred like the first." R 25 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
24- وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أنَّ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ، قَالَ : "يَضْحَكُ اللهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ يقْتلُ أَحَدهُمَا الآخَرَ يَدْخُلانِ الجَنَّةَ ، يُقَاتِلُ هَذَا في سَبيلِ اللهِ فَيُقْتَلُ ، ثُمَّ يتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى القَاتلِ فَيُسْلِم فَيُسْتَشْهَدُ" مُتَّفَقٌ عليه .
