Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Sabrah bin Abu Fakaha (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “Satan sits in ambush for the son of Adam (to mislead him) at his various paths. He sits on the path of Islam and says (to the one about to become Muslim): ‘Will you accept Islam and leave the religion of your forefathers?’ But the son of Adam disobeys him and accepts Islam. Then he sits on the path of migration and says to him: ‘Are you going to migrate and leave your land and sky (i.e., your area and inheritance)? The example of a migrant is like a horse tied to a rope.’ But he disobeys him and migrates. Then he sits on the path of jihad and says: ‘Are you going for jihad? (Look,) this is a task of hardship and toil, your wealth will be spent, if you fight you will be killed, someone else will marry your wife, and your wealth will be distributed among your heirs.’ But he rejects his opinion and performs jihad.”

Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever does so (with Satan), it is a right upon Allah to admit him into Paradise. And whoever is martyred, it is a right upon Allah to admit him into Paradise. If he is drowned, it is incumbent upon Allah to admit him into Paradise. And if his mount throws him and he dies as a result of his «ی گر» being broken, it is a right upon Allah to admit him into Paradise.”
