Bayhaqi 18524 — The virtue of martyrdom in the way of Allah the Mighty

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ المُقْرِئُ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " عَجِبَ رَبُّنَا مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ: رَجُلٍ ثَارَ عَنْ وِطَائِهِ وَلِحَافِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ حِبِّهِ وَأَهْلِهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي، وَرَجُلٍ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَانْهَزَمَ فَعَلِمَ مَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الِانْهِزَامِ وَمَا لَهُ فِي الرُّجُوعِ فَرَجَعَ حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي رَجَعَ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ ". وَرُوِيَ فِي مَعْنَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ مَرْفُوعًا.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, the Lord of Might, marvels at two men: one who rises for prayer from his bed and his quilt, from among his loved ones and his family, desiring My blessings and fearing My punishment; and one who is defeated while fighting in the way of Allah, and he knows that there is a sin upon him for the defeat and what reward there is in turning back, so he returns to the fight until he is martyred. Allah, the Lord of Might, says to His angels: 'Look at My servant, who turned back, desiring My blessings and fearing My punishment, and offered up his life.'"
