Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever dies while standing guard in the way of Allah is protected from the punishment of the grave, and his reward continues to increase until the Day of Resurrection." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Nu'man is Nu'man bin Mundhir Ghassani, and he belongs to the people of Damascus.
