حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ عَفَّانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ عَنِ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ عَجِبَ رَبُّنَا عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ رَجُلَيْنِ رَجُلٍ ثَارَ عَنْ وِطَائِهِ وَلِحَافِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَهْلِهِ وَحَيِّهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ فَيَقُولُ رَبُّنَا أَيَا مَلَائِكَتِي انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي ثَارَ مِنْ فِرَاشِهِ وَوِطَائِهِ وَمِنْ بَيْنِ حَيِّهِ وَأَهْلِهِ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي وَرَجُلٍ غَزَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَانْهَزَمُوا فَعَلِمَ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ الْفِرَارِ وَمَا لَهُ فِي الرُّجُوعِ فَرَجَعَ حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَشَفَقَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي رَجَعَ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَرَهْبَةً مِمَّا عِنْدِي حَتَّى أُهَرِيقَ دَمُهُ

مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3949

It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ood that the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, admires two men, a man who got up and left his mattress and blanket, and left his family and friends, to pray, and our Lord says: 'O My angels, look at My slave: he has got up and left his mattress and blanket, and left his family and friends, to pray seeking that which is with Me and fearing that which is with Me.' And [our Lord admires] a man who goes out to fight for the sake of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted; then others fled but he realized the consequences of fleeing and the consequences of returning to the fight, so he went back (and fought) until his blood was shed, seeking that which is with Me and fearing that which is with Me. And Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says to His angels: 'Look at My slave, he went back (and fought) seeking that which is with Me and fearing that which is with Me, until his blood was shed.'"
