It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who strives in the path of Allah (the mujahid) is under the guarantee of Allah Almighty: either Allah Almighty will gather him to His forgiveness and mercy (through martyrdom), or He will return him (safe and sound) with reward and spoils. And the example of the mujahid in the path of Allah is like that of one who fasts and stands in night prayer, who does not slacken (in worship) until he (the mujahid) returns."
