(حديث مرفوع) (حديث موقوف) وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ الْعِبَادِ أَفْضَلُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ؟ قَالَ : " الذَّاكِرُونَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَمَنْ الْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَوْ ضَرَبَ بِسَيْفِهِ فِي الْكُفَّارِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّى يَنْكَسِرَ ، وَيَخْتَضِبَ دَمًا ، لَكَانَ الذَّاكِرُونَ اللَّهَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ دَرَجَةً " .
And it is narrated with the previous chain that I asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Who will be the most excellent person in the sight of Allah among all the servants on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Those who remember Allah abundantly." Then I asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Will their rank be even higher than that of the Mujahid (may Allah be pleased with him)?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Even if he strikes the disbelievers and polytheists with his sword until his sword breaks and he becomes covered in blood, still the rank of those who remember (Allah) will be superior to them."
