Hadith 1663

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ بَحِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لِلشَّهِيدِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ سِتُّ خِصَالٍ : يُغْفَرُ لَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ دَفْعَةٍ ، وَيَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ ، وَيُجَارُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ، وَيَأْمَنُ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ الْأَكْبَرِ ، وَيُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تَاجُ الْوَقَارِ الْيَاقُوتَةُ مِنْهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا ، وَيُزَوَّجُ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ زَوْجَةً مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ ، وَيُشَفَّعُ فِي سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَقَارِبِهِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ .
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:


These rewards are for that martyr who is martyred while fighting in jihad with sincerity of heart solely for the pleasure of Allah.


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.


The punishment of the grave for sinners is established by many ahadith.
The martyr is protected from it.


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.


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.


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.


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.


The higher the rank of a believer, the more people he will be permitted to intercede for.
And Allah knows best.
