Sunan Ibn Majah — Hadith 2799

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِ يكَرِبَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لِلشَّهِيدِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عز وجل سِتُّ خِصَالٍ : يَغْفِرُ لَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ دُفْعَةٍ مِنْ دَمِهِ ، وَيُرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَيُجَارُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ، وَيَأْمَنُ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ الْأَكْبَرِ ، وَيُحَلَّى حُلَّةَ الْإِيمَانِ ، وَيُزَوَّجُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ ، وَيُشَفَّعُ فِي سَبْعِينَ إِنْسَانًا مِنْ أَقَارِبِهِ " .
´It was narrated from Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “The martyr has six things (in store) with Allah: He is forgiven from the first drop of his blood that is shed; he is shown his place in Paradise; he is spared the torment of the grave; he is kept safe from the Great Fright; he is adorned with a garment of faith; he is married to (wives) from among the wide-eyed houris; and he is permitted to intercede for seventy of his relatives.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

➊
These rewards are for that martyr who is martyred while fighting in jihad with sincerity of heart solely for the pleasure of Allah.

➋
Being shown a house in Paradise is glad tidings for him, that even during the moment of the soul’s departure, before entering Paradise, he is given the good news of Paradise.

➌
The punishment of the grave for sinners is established by many ahadith.
The martyr is protected from it.

➍
On the Day of Resurrection, sinners will be distressed according to their respective sins.
The martyr’s sins will have been forgiven, so he will be safe from distress.

➎
Two garments of the same kind are called a hulah (set).
The hulah of faith refers to such a garment that will be a sign of his faith.

➏
The houris are those women of Paradise whom Allah Ta’ala has created in Paradise by His perfect power for His righteous servants.
Every martyr will receive at least two houris.

➐
On the Day of Resurrection, intercession will only be possible after permission is granted by Allah Ta’ala; this will be a means of forgiveness for sinners,
and a great honor for the one interceding.

➑
The higher the rank of a believer, the more people he will be permitted to intercede for.
And Allah knows best.
