Hadith 4841
عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ أَحَدِ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُجَاهِدًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ هَؤُلَاءِ الثَّلَاثِ الْوُسْطَى وَالسَّبَّابَةِ وَالْإِبْهَامِ فَجَمَعَهُنَّ وَقَالَ وَأَيْنَ الْمُجَاهِدُونَ فَخَرَّ عَنْ دَابَّتِهِ فَمَاتَ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَوْ لَدَغَتْهُ دَابَّةٌ فَمَاتَ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَوْ مَاتَ حَتْفَ أَنْفِهِ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهَا لَكَلِمَةٌ مَا سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَبْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَاتَ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَمَنْ مَاتَ قَعْصًا فَقَدِ اسْتَوْجَبَ الْمَآبَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Atik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever sets out from his home in the path of Allah for jihad, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his three fingers—that is, the middle finger, the index finger, and the thumb—(towards his life, his weapon, and his horse). That man said: And where are the mujahideen? Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: But if that man falls from his mount and dies, his reward is assured with Allah Almighty, or if an animal bites him, still his reward is assured with Allah Almighty, or if he dies a natural death, still his reward is assured with Allah Almighty. The narrator says: By Allah! This is such a statement that before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I never heard it from any Arab, and whoever among the mujahideen dies due to a blow, he has made a good refuge (i.e., Paradise) obligatory for himself.
Hadith 4842
عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْغَزْوُ غَزْوَانِ فَأَمَّا مَنِ ابْتَغَى وَجْهَ اللَّهِ وَأَطَاعَ الْإِمَامَ وَأَنْفَقَ الْكَرِيمَةَ وَيَاسَرَ الشَّرِيكَ وَاجْتَنَبَ الْفَسَادَ فَإِنَّ نَوْمَهُ وَنُبْهَهُ أَجْرٌ كُلُّهُ وَأَمَّا مَنْ غَزَا فَخْرًا وَرِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً وَعَصَى الْإِمَامَ وَأَفْسَدَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ بِالْكَفَافِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are two types of Jihad: (1) The person who seeks the pleasure of Allah Almighty, obeys the leader, spends good wealth, makes things easy for his companion, and avoids corruption—such a person's sleeping and waking, in short, everything is a source of reward. (2) The one who does Jihad out of pride and for show, disobeys the leader, and spreads corruption in the land—he will not return with any reward at all.
Hadith 4843
عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ لَا يَنْوِي فِي غَزَاتِهِ إِلَّا عِقَالًا فَلَهُ مَا نَوَى
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever fought in the way of Allah, while his intention was only to obtain a rope, then he will receive only that which he intended.
Hadith 4844
عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يُقَاتِلُ شُجَاعَةً وَيُقَاتِلُ حَمِيَّةً وَيُقَاتِلُ رِيَاءً فَأَيُّ ذَلِكَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! A man fights to show bravery, another out of zeal, and another for ostentation; which of these is in the way of Allah? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Whoever fights so that the word of Allah may be exalted, he is in the way of Allah.
Hadith 4845
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَبْتَغِي عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ فَأَعْظَمَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ وَقَالُوا لِلرَّجُلِ عُدْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَعَلَّهُ لَمْ يَفْهَمْ فَعَادَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يُرِيدُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يَبْتَغِي عَرَضَ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ ثُمَّ عَادَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا أَجْرَ لَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! A man intends to perform jihad in the way of Allah, but in the meantime he also wants to acquire some worldly goods. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no reward for him. When this was hard for the people, they said to that man: Ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) again, perhaps he did not understand your question. He asked again and said: O Messenger of Allah! I am saying that a man intends to perform jihad in the way of Allah, but he also seeks worldly goods. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no reward for him. The man repeated the question a third time, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the same answer, saying: (I am saying that) there is no reward for him.
Hadith 4846
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ غَازِيَةٍ تَغْزُو فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُصِيبُونَ غَنِيمَةً إِلَّا تَعَجَّلُوا ثُلُثَيْ أَجْرِهِمْ مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ وَيَبْقَى لَهُمُ الثُّلُثُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُصِيبُوا غَنِيمَةً تَمَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The group that fights in the way of Allah and also acquires spoils of war hastens to receive two-thirds of the reward that is to be given in the Hereafter; one-third of the reward remains. And if they do not acquire spoils of war, then their reward in the Hereafter is complete.
Hadith 4847
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ شَهِدْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ يَعْنِي لِرَجُلٍ يَدَّعِي الْإِسْلَامَ هَذَا مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرْنَا الْقِتَالَ قَاتَلَ الرَّجُلُ قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا فَأَصَابَتْهُ جِرَاحَةٌ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي قُلْتَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَإِنَّهُ قَاتَلَ الْيَوْمَ قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا وَقَدْ مَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى النَّارِ فَكَادَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَرْتَابَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذْ قِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَلَكِنْ بِهِ جِرَاحٌ شَدِيدٌ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ لَمْ يَصْبِرْ عَلَى الْجِرَاحِ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَأُخْبِرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَشْهَدُ أَنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَنَادَى فِي النَّاسِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُؤَيِّدُ هَذَا الدِّينَ بِالرَّجُلِ الْفَاجِرِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: We were present with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the day of Khaybar. Regarding a man who claimed to be a Muslim, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He is of the people of Hell." When we began to fight, that man fought very fiercely and was also wounded. Someone said: O Messenger of Allah! The man about whom you said he is of the people of Hell, today he fought very fiercely and now he has died. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He has gone to the Fire." It was near that, because of this statement, some people would fall into doubt and suspicion. In any case, while people were in this state, someone said: That man has not died yet, but he has been severely wounded. When night fell, the man could not bear the pain of his wound and he committed suicide. When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was informed about him, he said: "Allahu Akbar, I bear witness that indeed I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger." Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered Sayyiduna Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him, and he announced among the people that indeed the situation is such that only a Muslim soul will enter Paradise, and Allah, the Exalted, supports this religion even through a wicked man.
Hadith 4848
عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَأَبْلَى بَلَاءً حَسَنًا فَعَجِبَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ بَلَائِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قُلْنَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ فَلَمَّا اشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ الْجِرَاحُ وَضَعَ ذُبَابَ سَيْفِهِ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ ثُمَّ اتَّكَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي قُلْتَ لَهُ مَا قُلْتَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَتَضَرَّبُ وَالسَّيْفُ بَيْنَ أَضْعَافِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فِيمَا يَبْدُو لِلنَّاسِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ وَإِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالْخَوَاتِيمِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), who says: There was a man with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a certain battle. He displayed great bravery in the battle, and the Muslims were amazed at his courage. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said about him: Beware! Indeed, he is among the people of the Fire. We said: He is with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the path of Allah; in any case, Allah and His Messenger know best. The man left, and when the pain from his wounds became severe, he placed his chest on the edge of his sword and pressed down on it from above. A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: The man about whom you spoke in this way, I saw him moving, and the sword was embedded in his bones. Upon hearing this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, a man continues to do the deeds of the people of Paradise, to the extent that it appears to the people (that he is of Paradise), while he is among the people of the Fire. Likewise, a man, according to the people, does the deeds of the people of the Fire, while he is among the people of Paradise. In reality, the outcome of deeds depends upon their conclusion.
Hadith 4849
عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَبْعَثُنِي فِي سَرَايَا فَبَعَثَنِي ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ يَرْكَبُ ثَقْلِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُ ارْحَلْ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ بَعَثَنِي فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا بِخَارِجٍ مَعَكَ قُلْتُ وَلِمَ قَالَ حَتَّى تَجْعَلَ لِي ثَلَاثَةَ دَنَانِيرَ قُلْتُ الْآنَ حَيْثُ وَدَّعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أَنَا بِرَاجِعٍ إِلَيْهِ ارْحَلْ وَلَكَ ثَلَاثَةُ دَنَانِيرَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ مِنْ غَزَاتِي ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْ غَزَاتِهِ هَذِهِ وَمِنْ دُنْيَاهُ وَمِنْ آخِرَتِهِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةُ الدَّنَانِيرِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ya'la bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to send me on various expeditions. One day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an expedition. A man was helping me arrange my belongings and load them onto the camel. I said to him: You should also come with me, indeed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent me on an expedition. He said: I will not go with you. I asked: Why not? He said: Not until you fix three dinars for me. I said: I have just bid farewell to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), now I cannot return to him, anyway, come with us and you will get three dinars. So when I returned from my expedition, I informed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For him, from this expedition and from his world and Hereafter, there is nothing except these three dinars.

عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا سَتُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَمْصَارُ وَسَيَضْرِبُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ بُعُوثًا يُنْكِرُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمُ الْبَعْثَ فَيَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ وَيَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى الْقَبَائِلِ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَكْفِيهِ بَعْثَ كَذَا وَكَذَا أَلَا وَذَلِكَ الْأَجِيرُ إِلَى آخِرِ قَطْرَةٍ مِنْ دَمِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, cities will be conquered for you, then (for jihad) there will be a need to send many armies, but a man will refuse to go in that army, then he will leave his people and present himself to other tribes and say: For such and such army, who will suffice for me? Beware! This person will remain a laborer until the last drop of his blood is shed.
Hadith 4851
عَنْ رُوَيْفِعِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَحَدُنَا يَأْخُذُ النَّاقَةَ عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِمَّا يُغْنَمُ حَتَّى إِنَّ لِأَحَدِنَا الْقَدَحَ وَلِلْآخَرِ النَّصْلَ وَالرِّيشَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ruwaifi’ bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that he participated in a battle with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
