´Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said :` "A man who cries out of fearing Allah, will not be put into the Fire until milk returns to the udder; and dust raised in the cause of Allah and the smoke of Jahannam will not be gathered together." [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abu Raihanah and Ibn 'Abbas. [He said:] This Hadith is [Hasan] Sahih. Muhammad bin 'Abdur-Rahman is the Mawla of the family of Talbah, and he is from Al-Madinah, and trustworthy. Shu'bah and Sufyan Ath-Thawri reported from him.

The meaning of the hadith is that just as milk cannot return to the udder, likewise, the one who weeps out of fear of Allah will not be cast into Hellfire.
Similarly, the one who sets out in the path of jihad also cannot enter Hell,
because jihad is a means of salvation from Hellfire for the mujahid.
It is thus understood that jihad holds great virtue.
However, this reward is for that mujahid who has refrained from major sins.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
“Until milk [returns to the udder]”—and this is impossible, both rationally and customarily. The purpose is that it is impossible for the one who weeps out of fear of Allah to enter Hellfire. Similarly, one who engages in jihad with sincerity can never enter Hellfire.

That is, just as this world and the Hereafter are opposites of each other and cannot be combined together, in the same way, the dust from the path of jihad and the smoke of Hell cannot be combined together.
