It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: “Is it better for me to accept Islam?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Yes.” He said: “I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah.” Then he said: “Is it better for me to fight until I am killed?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Yes.” He said: “Even if I have not performed any prayer?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Yes.” Then he went out to fight, fought, and was killed. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “He did little action but attained great reward.”
