Mukhtasar Muslim

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah guarantees the one who goes out in His path, and does not go out except for jihad and believes in Allah and affirms His messengers. (Allah has said that) such a person is under My protection: either I will admit him to Paradise, or I will return him to his home with reward and spoils of war. By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), there is no wound inflicted in the path of Allah except that it will come on the Day of Resurrection in the same state as it was in the world—its color will be the color of blood, but its fragrance will be that of musk. By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), if it were not hard upon the Muslims, I would never stay behind any expedition that fights in the path of Allah. But I do not have enough means (of conveyance, etc.), nor do the Muslims have enough means (of conveyance, etc.), and if I were to go, it would be hard for some Muslims to remain behind. By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I wish that I could fight in the path of Allah, then be killed, then fight again, then be killed, then fight again, then be killed.
