اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ، وَأَبُو أَحْمَدَ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُقَنَّعًا فِي الْحَدِيدِ ، قَالَ : أُقَاتِلُ أَوْ أُسْلِمُ ؟ قَالَ : " بَلْ أَسْلِمْ ، ثُمَّ قَاتِلْ " . فَأَسْلَمَ ، ثُمَّ قَاتَلَ ، فَقُتِلَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " عَمِلَ هَذَا قَلِيلًا وَأُجِرَ كَثِيرًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) who was covered in iron (armor) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I accept Islam first or participate in jihad first?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Accept Islam first, then participate in jihad." So he did so, and was martyred in that jihad. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He did little action but received a great reward."
