حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : عَجِبَ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ : مِنْ رَجُلٍ ثَارَ مِنْ لِحَافِهِ وَفِرَاشِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ حَيِّهِ وَأَهْلِهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ : يَا مَلَائِكَتِي ، انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي هَذَا ، قَامَ مِنْ بَيْنِ فِرَاشِهِ وَلِحَافِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ حَيِّهِ وَأَهْلِهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ ، رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي ، وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي ، وَرَجُلٍ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَفَرَّ أَصْحَابُهُ ، وَعَلِمَ مَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْفِرَارِ ، وَمَا لَهُ فِي الرُّجُوعِ ، فَرَجَعَ حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ : انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي هَذَا رَجَعَ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي ، وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, is amazed (and pleased) with two men: one is a man who rose from his blanket and his bed, from among his family and his relatives, and stood for prayer. Allah Almighty says to His angels: 'O My angels, look at this servant of Mine; he has risen from his bed and his blanket, from among his family and his loved ones, and stood for prayer out of desire for what is with Me (of reward) and out of fear of what is with Me (of punishment).' And the other is a man who fought in the way of Allah, then his companions fled (from the battlefield), but he knew how grave the consequence of fleeing the field is and how great the reward of turning back to fight is; so he returned (towards the enemy) until his blood was shed (that is, he was martyred). Then Allah Almighty says to His angels: 'Look at this servant of Mine who turned back out of desire for what is with Me (of reward) and out of fear of what is with Me (of punishment).'"
