Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

THE GATES OF PARADISE

|H 1330

“He (Abu Bakr, son of Abu Musa Ash'ari) heard his father say in the
face of the enemy: „The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be
upon him, said, 'The Gates of Paradise lie under the shadows of
swords.' Thereupon a man of wearing old clothes stood up and
inquired. „Abu Musa, did you indeed hear the Messenger of Allah,
praise and peace be upon him, say that?‟ He answered, „Yes.‟
Thereupon the man turned towards his Companions and greeted
them with farewell. He broke the scabbard of his sword and threw it
away and walked with his sword into the ranks of the enemy and
fought until he was martyred.”

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Bakr, son of Abu Musa Ash'ari who related this.
