عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" تَوَكَّلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِحِفْظِ امْرِئٍ خَرَجَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، لَا يُخْرِجُهُ إِلَّا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَتَصْدِيقٌ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ ، حَتَّى يُوجِبَ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ ، أَوْ يُرْجِعَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ ، أَوْ مِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has taken upon Himself the protection of the person who sets out in His path, that if he sets out solely with the intention of striving in My path, believing in Me and affirming My Messenger, then it is My responsibility to admit him into Paradise, or to return him to his place of residence in such a state that he has obtained reward or spoils of war.
