Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5272 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Our Lord
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : عَجِبَ رَبُّنَا مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ : رَجُلٍ ثَارَ مِنْ وِطَائِهِ وَلِحَافِهِ ، مِنْ بَيْنِ حَيِّهِ وَأَهْلِهِ إِلَى صَلَاةٍ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي ، وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي ، وَرَجُلٍ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ، فَانْهَزَمَ فَعَلِمَ مَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الِانْهِزَامِ وَمَا لَهُ فِي الرُّجُوعِ ، فَرَجَعَ حَتَّى يُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ : انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي ، رَجَعَ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Our Lord expresses pleasure and amazement at two men: one who rises from his bedding and his quilt, from among his family and his tribe, and stands for prayer, out of longing for the reward that is with Me and fear of the punishment that is with Me; and the other a man who fought in the path of Allah, then (the fighters) were defeated, and he knew well how grave a burden there is in turning one's back and fleeing, and how great a reward there is in returning to the battlefield, so he returned until his blood was shed. Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says to His angels (with pride): 'Look at this servant of Mine: out of longing for the reward that is with Me and fear of the punishment that is with Me, he returned until his blood was shed.'"
