حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " كُلُّ الْمَيِّتِ يُخْتَمُ عَلَى عَمَلِهِ إِلَّا الْمُرَابِطَ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْمُو لَهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيُؤَمَّنُ مِنْ فَتَّانِ الْقَبْرِ " .
Narrated Fadalah ibn Ubayd: The Prophet ﷺ said: Everyone who dies will have fully complete his action, except one who is on the frontier (in Allah's path), for his deeds will be made to go on increasing till the Day of Resurrection, and he will be safe from the trial in the grave.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
This virtue is for standing guard in the face of the enemy.
So the person who grapples with the disbelievers,
and is killed or kills (in battle),
his ranks will be even higher.
The Noble Qur’an has encouraged this action, saying:
(O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful) ( 3:200).
“O you who believe! Be patient,
remain steadfast,
stand firm at your posts,
and fear Allah,
so that you may succeed.”
Works similar to jihad (fighting), such as propagating tawhid (monotheism) and the Sunnah and refuting shirk (polytheism) and bid‘ah (innovation) in difficult circumstances—whether through teaching, writing, or lecturing—should also be expected,
that according to one’s intention, this too is a great ribat (stationing/guarding) and murabatah (standing guard).
Thus, teachers, preachers, and authors are stationed at the intellectual frontiers of the fortress of Islam as long as their legacies remain.

Explanation:
1:
That is, the commanding self (nafs al-ammara) which incites a person towards evil,
he suppresses it,
does not become a follower of the desires of the self, and whatever difficulties and obstacles arise in obedience to Allah,
he endures them with patience,
this is the greater jihad (jihad al-akbar).
