Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There are six rewards for the martyr with Allah: (1) With the first drop of his blood, his sins are forgiven; (2) he sees his place in Paradise; (3) he is protected from the punishment of the grave; (4) «فزع الأكبر» (on the Day of Great Terror) he will be safe; (5) a crown of honor will be placed on his head, a single ruby of which is better than the world and all that is in it; (6) he will be married to seventy-two (72) heavenly maidens, and his intercession will be accepted for seventy of his relatives.” 1. © Imam Tirmidhi says: This hadith is hasan ghareeb.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
These rewards are for that martyr who is martyred while fighting in jihad with sincerity of heart solely for the pleasure of Allah.
➋
Being shown a house in Paradise is glad tidings for him, that even during the moment of the soul’s departure, before entering Paradise, he is given the good news of Paradise.
➌
The punishment of the grave for sinners is established by many ahadith.
The martyr is protected from it.
➍
On the Day of Resurrection, sinners will be distressed according to their respective sins.
The martyr’s sins will have been forgiven, so he will be safe from distress.
➎
Two garments of the same kind are called a hulah (set).
The hulah of faith refers to such a garment that will be a sign of his faith.
➏
The houris are those women of Paradise whom Allah Ta’ala has created in Paradise by His perfect power for His righteous servants.
Every martyr will receive at least two houris.
➐
On the Day of Resurrection, intercession will only be possible after permission is granted by Allah Ta’ala; this will be a means of forgiveness for sinners,
and a great honor for the one interceding.
➑
The higher the rank of a believer, the more people he will be permitted to intercede for.
And Allah knows best.
