اُردوEn
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.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … He experienced only a few moments of life in Islam, or even less than that, yet he made Paradise his destiny forever and ever. "That is the grace of Allah; He bestows it upon whom He wills."
