باب فِيمَنْ قَاتَلَ في سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ صَابِراً مُحْتَسِباً:
Chapter: Whoever Fights in Allah’s Path Patiently and Seeking Reward
Hadith 2449
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْجِهَادَ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ شَيْئًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا الْفَرَائِضَ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَهَلْ ذَلِكَ مُكَفِّرٌ عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ ؟، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "نَعَمْ، إِذَا قُتِلَ صَابِرًا، مُحْتَسِبًا، مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ، إِلا الدَّيْنَ فَإِنَّهُ مَأْخُوذٌ بِهِ كَمَا زَعَمَ لِي جِبْرِيلُ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and delivered a sermon: He praised and glorified Allah, then mentioned jihad, and did not leave anything superior to jihad (i.e., he declared jihad to be the most virtuous) except for the obligatory duties. A companion stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me, if a person is killed in the way of Allah, will his sins be forgiven? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, if he advances with patience and seeking reward, and is killed while advancing and not retreating (all his sins will be forgiven) except for debt. He will be held accountable for it even after being martyred, as Jibreel (peace be upon him) has just informed me."
