Bayhaqi 18536 — The virtue of one who dies in the way of Allah

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأُمَوِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ أَخِي بَنِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ ⦗٢٨٠⦘ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُجَاهِدًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ "، قَالَ: ثُمَّ ضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ الثَّلَاثَ، " وَأَيْنَ الْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، مَنْ خَرَجَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَخَرَّ عَنْ دَابَّتِهِ فَمَاتَ، فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ، وَإِنْ لَدَغَتْهُ دَابَّةٌ فَمَاتَ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ حَتْفَ أَنْفِهِ "، قَالَ: وَإِنَّهَا لَكَلِمَةٌ مَا سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَوَّلَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَعْنِي بِحَتْفِ أَنْفِهِ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ، " فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ، وَمَنْ قُتِلَ قَعْصًا فَقَدِ اسْتَوْجَبَ الْجَنَّةَ ".
Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Atik of Banu Salimah narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever leaves his house with the intention of jihad in the way of Allah." The narrator said: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) joined his three fingers together and said: "Where are those who strive in the way of Allah? Whoever falls from his mount in the way of Allah and dies, his matter rests with Allah; and if he dies from being stung by something, he will receive the full reward; and whoever dies a natural death." The narrator said: This is a word I had not heard from any Arab before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), meaning the one who dies on his bed: "his reward too rests with Allah; and whoever is killed on the spot has made Paradise obligatory for himself."
