Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "What an excellent death it is that a man is killed fighting for his right."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from al-Hasan bin Hayy except al-Mu'afa bin Imran."
