اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: هُوَ الصَّدَفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى الْأُمْلُوكِيِّ، عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "الْقَتْلَى ثَلَاثَةٌ: مُؤْمِنٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ، قَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ". قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ: "فَذَلِكَ الشَّهِيدُ الْمُمْتَحَنُ فِي خَيْمَةِ اللَّهِ، تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ، لَا يَفْضُلُهُ النَّبِيُّونَ إِلَّا بِدَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَمُؤْمِنٌ خَلَطَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَآخَرَ سَيِّئًا، جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ". قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ: "مَصْمَصَةٌ مَحَتْ ذُنُوبَهُ وَخَطَايَاهُ، إِنَّ السَّيْفَ مَحَّاءٌ لِلْخَطَايَا، وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَاءَ . وَمُنَافِقٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ، فَإِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَذَاكَ فِي النَّارِ، إِنَّ السَّيْفَ لَا يَمْحُو النِّفَاقَ" . قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ: يُقَالُ لِلثَّوْبِ إِذَا غُسِلَ: مُصْمِصَ.
Utbah bin Abd al-Sulami said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Those who are killed are of three types: (1) One is the believer who fought in the way of Allah with his life and wealth, encountered the enemy, fought, and was killed." Regarding such a slain person, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "He is a tried martyr who will be in Allah's tent under the Throne, and the Prophets will be above him in the rank of Prophethood." (2) "The second is the believer whose good and bad deeds are mixed, he fought in the way of Allah with his life and wealth, when he encountered the enemy, he fought until he was killed." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said about such a slain person: "He is like a sucked thing, which has wiped away his sins and slips, because the sword wipes away sins. Such a slain person will be admitted into Paradise through whichever gate he wishes." (3) "The third slain person is the hypocrite who fought with his life and wealth, met the enemy, fought fiercely until he was killed, but he will go to Hell and the sword will not be able to wipe away the stain of hypocrisy."
Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When a cloth is washed and wrung out, it is called 'mumsas'. Therefore, the meaning of 'mumsasa' is: a washed thing.

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2447)
In this hadith, the categories of those killed (in battle) and their ranks have been described.
First in rank is the martyr (shaheed) and slain one who fought purely for the sake of Allah (khaliṣatan li-wajhi Allah) and was martyred. Such a person will have a lofty station, under the shade of the Throne of the Most Merciful (ʿArsh al-Rahman), at a slight distance from the rank of the noble Prophets (anbiya kiram).
The second martyr is the one who performed good deeds but also committed bad deeds; then such a person fought in jihad and drank from the cup of martyrdom. He will have the choice to enter Paradise (jannah) through whichever gate he wishes, and this too is a very great rank.
The third slain one is the hypocrite (munafiq) who practiced hypocrisy and did participate in jihad, but only for show. Even if such a person sacrifices all his wealth and life and is killed, he will still not attain the rank of martyrdom (shahadah).
And after death, he will go straight to Hell (Jahannam).
