Musnad Ahmad 9976 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، قََالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " يَضْحَكُ اللَّهُ إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتُلُ أَحَدُهُمَا الْآخَرَ ، كِلَاهُمَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ ، يُقَاتِلُ هَذَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، فَيُسْتَشْهَدُ ، ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى قَاتِلِهِ ، فَيُسْلِمُ ، فَيُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يُسْتَشْهَدَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah Almighty smiles at two men, one of whom killed the other, but both of them enter Paradise. The explanation of this is that one man was a disbeliever; he martyred a Muslim, then Allah granted the killer repentance, and he also accepted Islam and was martyred fighting in the way of Allah, and Allah Almighty granted both of them entry into Paradise.
