Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 19538 — Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي وَهُوَ بِحَضْرَةِ الْعَدُوِّ يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ " إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ " ، قَالَ : فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا مُوسَى ، آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامَ ، ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ ، فَأَلْقَاهُ ، ثُمَّ مَشَى بِسَيْفِهِ ، فَضَرَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ .
Abu Bakr bin Abdullah says that once, in front of the enemy army, I heard my father saying that I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: "The gates of Paradise are under the shade of swords." Upon hearing this, a disheveled man from among the people stood up and said, "O Abu Musa! Did you yourself hear this hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)?" He replied, "Yes!" The man returned to his companions, bade them farewell for the last time, broke the sheath of his sword and threw it away, then took up his sword and set out. He fought with such intensity that he was eventually martyred.
