Hadith 4816

عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ عَجِبَ رَبُّنَا عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ رَجُلٍ ثَارَ عَنْ وِطَائِهِ وَلِحَافِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَهْلِهِ وَحَيِّهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ فَيَقُولُ رَبُّنَا يَا مَلَائِكَتِي انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي ثَارَ مِنْ فِرَاشِهِ وَوِطَائِهِ وَمِنْ بَيْنِ حَيِّهِ وَأَهْلِهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي وَرَجُلٍ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَانْهَزَمُوا فَعَلِمَ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْفِرَارِ وَمَا لَهُ فِي الرُّجُوعِ فَرَجَعَ حَتَّى أُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي رَجَعَ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَرَهْبَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي حَتَّى أُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Our Lord is amazed at two men: one is the man who rises from among his bed, blanket, wife, and tribe to perform prayer. Allah Almighty says: O angels! Look at My servant; he has stood up for prayer, leaving his bed, blanket, tribe, and wife, desiring that which is with Me and fearing that which is with Me. And the second is the man who fought in the path of Allah. It so happened that his army was defeated, but when he realized how great a sin it is to flee and how much reward there is in returning to the enemy, he turned back towards the enemy until his blood was shed. His action was out of desire for that which is with Me and to avoid that which is with Me. Thus, Allah Almighty says to His angels: Look at My servant; he returned out of desire for My rewards and fear of My punishment, until his blood was shed.
