Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20474 — What is mentioned on the virtue
٢٠٤٧٤ - حدثنا زيد بن حباب عن جعفر بن سليمان الضبعي نا أبو عمران الجوني عن أبي بكر بن أبي موسى الأشعري قال: سمعت أبي تجاه العدو يقول: سمعت رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "إن السيوف مفاتيح الجنة"، فقال له رجل (رث) (١) الهيئة: أنت سمعت هذا من رسول اللَّه ﷺ؟ قال: نعم! فسل سيفه وكسر غمده والتفت إلى أصحابه، وقال: أقرأ عليكم السلام، ثم تقدم إلى العدو فقاتل حتى قتل (٢).
Abu Bakr bin Abi Musa al-Ash'ari said: Once, when the enemy was faced, my father said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Swords are the keys of Paradise.'" On hearing this hadith, a man in a dishevelled state said: "O Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him)! Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes, I heard it." At that the man drew his sword, broke its scabbard, greeted his companions with salam, then advanced towards the enemy and kept fighting them until he was martyred.
