Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah guarantees the one who goes out in the path of Allah, in a state of faith in Allah and affirming the truth of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that He will admit him into Paradise or bring him back; when he returns to his home, he will have gained reward and spoils. By the One in whose hand is my soul! Were it not that it would be hard on my Ummah, I would not stay behind from any fighting expedition."
