أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيمَا يَحْکِيهِ عَنْ رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ أَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِي خَرَجَ مُجَاهِدًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ابْتِغَائَ مَرْضَاتِي ضَمِنْتُ لَهُ أَنْ أَرْجِعَهُ إِنْ أَرْجَعْتُهُ بِمَا أَصَابَ مِنْ أَجْرٍ أَوْ غَنِيمَةٍ وَإِنْ قَبَضْتُهُ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ وَرَحِمْتُهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3134
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar, from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم of what he related from his Lord, the Mighty and Sublime: “Any of My slaves who goes out as a Mujahid striving in the cause of Allah, seeking My pleasure, I guarantee that I will bring him back with whatever he has earned as reward or spoils of war, and if I take his (soul) I will forgive him and have mercy on him.” (Sahih)
