Hadith 4882

عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مُقَنَّعٌ فِي الْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُسْلِمُ أَوْ أُقَاتِلُ قَالَ لَا بَلْ أَسْلِمْ ثُمَّ قَاتِلْ فَأَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ قَاتَلَ فَقُتِلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَذَا عَمِلَ قَلِيلًا وَأُجِرَ كَثِيرًا
Syedna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that an Ansari man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was laden with iron weapons. He said: O Messenger of Allah! Should I accept Islam first or fight? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, you should accept Islam first and then fight. So he became Muslim and then fought, until he was martyred. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This person did little action, but he was given a great reward.
