Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20463 — What is mentioned on the virtue

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has promised the one who goes out for jihad in My way, believing in Me and affirming My Messenger, that I will, on My own responsibility, admit him into Paradise or return him to his home with reward or booty." Having said this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad! Were it not that I fear hardship for the Muslims, I would not stay behind any army that goes out to fight in the way of Allah. But I do not find the means to provide them with mounts, nor do they find the means to follow me, and their hearts would not be content to stay behind after I go. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad! My wish is that I fight in the way of Allah and then be killed, then fight and then be killed, then fight and then be killed."
