Bayhaqi 18523 — The virtue of martyrdom in the way of Allah the Mighty

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فُورَكٍ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ثنا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ⦗٢٧٦⦘ السَّكْسَكِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى الْأَمْلُوكِيِّ، عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الْقَتْلَى ثَلَاثَةٌ: رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَذَلِكَ الْمُمْتَحَنُ فِي خَيْمَةِ اللهِ تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ لَا يَفْضُلُهُ النَّبِيُّونَ إِلَّا بِدَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ، وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ فَرِقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَتِلْكَ مَصْمَصَةٌ تَحُتُّ ذُنُوبَهُ وَخَطَايَاهُ، إِنَّ السَّيْفَ مَحَّاءٌ لِلْخَطَايَا، وَقِيلَ لَهُ ادْخُلْ مِنْ أِيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ شِئْتَ، فَإِنَّهَا ثَمَانِيَةُ أَبْوَابٍ وَلِجَهَنَّمَ سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ، بَعْضُهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ - يَعْنِي أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ - وَرَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، فَذَاكَ فِي النَّارِ، إِنَّ السَّيْفَ لَا يَمْحُو النِّفَاقَ ".
Sayyiduna Utbah bin Abd al-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Those who are killed are of three kinds: a man who goes out with his life and his wealth against the enemy and is martyred while fighting; Allah grants this man a place beneath the Throne, and the prophets are above him by one degree, because of prophethood. And a man who, after committing sins, fights the enemy on the battlefield of jihad and is martyred; this martyrdom wipes out his sins and his mistakes, for the sword is an eraser of mistakes, and it will be said to such a man: 'Enter by whichever of the eight gates of Paradise you wish.' Paradise has eight gates and Hell has seven, and the gates of Paradise are superior to one another. And a hypocrite who is killed while fighting on the battlefield of jihad with his wealth and his life; he is of the people of Hell, for the sword does not erase hypocrisy."
