Majma al-Zawaid 9530 — Reports on martyrdom and its virtue

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the servant stands for the Reckoning, some people will come with their swords placed upon their necks, drops of blood dripping from them, and they will crowd at the gate of Paradise. It will be asked: 'Who are these people?' It will be said: 'These are the martyrs; they were alive and were given provision.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat within a long hadith which, if Allah wills, will come later in the chapter on the Resurrection. Its chain contains a narrator, al-Fadl bin Yasar; al-Uqayli says: His hadith is not corroborated. The rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
