Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 1652

"إن الشيطان قعد لابن آدم بأطرقه فقعد له بطريق الإسلام فقال: تسلم وتذر دينك ودين آبائك وآباء آبائك؟ فعصاه فأسلم ثم قعد له بطريق الهجرة فقال: تهاجر وتدع أرضك وسماءك وإنما مثل المهاجر كمثل الفرس في الطول! فعصاه فهاجر ثم قعد ¤ له بطريق الجهاد فقال: تجاهد فهو جهد النفس والمال فتقاتل فتقتل فتنكح المرأة ويقسم المال؟ فعصاه فجاهد فمن فعل ذلك كان حقا على الله أن يدخله الجنة ومن قتل كان حقا على الله أن يدخله الجنة وإن غرق كان حقا على الله أن يدخله الجنة وإن وقصته دابته كان حقا على الله أن يدخله الجنة"
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Indeed, Satan sits in wait for the son of Adam on his paths to lead him astray. He sat in wait for him on the path of Islam and said: 'Will you accept Islam and abandon your religion and the religion of your forefathers?' But the man disobeyed him and became a Muslim. Then he sat in wait for him on the path of emigration (hijrah) and said: 'Will you emigrate and leave your land and your sky (your homeland)? The example of the emigrant is like that of a horse tied to a tether.' But he disobeyed him and emigrated. Then he sat in wait for him on the path of jihad and said: 'Will you fight in jihad, when it is a toil of both life and wealth? You will fight and be killed, then someone else will marry your wife and your wealth will be divided up?' But he disobeyed him and fought in jihad. So whoever does that, it is a right upon Allah that He admit him into Paradise; whoever is killed (in jihad), it is a right upon Allah that He admit him into Paradise; if he drowns, it is a right upon Allah that He admit him into Paradise; and if his mount throws him and kills him, then too it is a right upon Allah that He admit him into Paradise."
