Chapter: The Virtue Of Ar-Ribat (Guarding The Frontier)
Hadith 3169
قَالَ : الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ ، عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْخَيْرِ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ رَابَطَ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، كَانَ لَهُ كَأَجْرِ صِيَامِ شَهْرٍ وَقِيَامِهِ ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ مُرَابِطًا أُجْرِيَ لَهُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ ، وَأُجْرِيَ عَلَيْهِ الرِّزْقُ ، وَأَمِنَ مِنَ الْفَتَّانِ " .
´It was narrated from Salman Al-Khair that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` "Whoever guards Ribat (the frontier) for one day and one night, will be given a reward like that for fasting and praying Qiyam for a month, and whoever dies at Ribat (guarding the frontier) will be rewarded, and he will be given provision, and he will be kept safe from Al-Fattan." [1] [1] According to As-Sindi, the preferred pronunciation is Al-Fattan, plural of Fatan refering to Al-Munkar and An-Nakir, while Al-Fattan would refer to Ash-Shaitan or the like, among the punishment of the grave, or, the angels of chastisement.
