The Virtue of Guarding the Frontiers and Keeping Watch in the Path of Allah
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 4809 — The Virtue of Guarding the Frontiers
عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ حَرَسَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مُتَطَوِّعًا لَا يَأْخُذُهُ سُلْطَانٌ لَمْ يَرَ النَّارَ بِعَيْنَيْهِ إِلَّا تَحِلَّةَ الْقَسَمِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ {وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا} [مريم: 71]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever keeps watch in the path of Allah to protect the Muslims, and his action is voluntary, not due to compulsion from the ruler, then he will not see the Fire with his own eyes, except to fulfill the oath, because Allah the Exalted has said: And there is none among you but will pass over it (the Fire).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The command of Allah, the Exalted, is: {وَ إِنْ مِنْکُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُھَا کَانَ عَلٰی رَبِّکَ حَتْمًا مَّقْضِیًّا۔} … Every one of you will surely come to it; this is, with your Lord, a decree that must be accomplished. (Maryam: 71)
