أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَجَّاجًّا أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکُ بْنُ يُخَامِرَ أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ فَوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَمَنْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ الْقَتْلَ مِنْ عِنْدِ نَفْسِهِ صَادِقًا ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ فَلَهُ أَجْرُ شَهِيدٍ وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ نُکِبَ نَکْبَةً فَإِنَّهَا تَجِيئُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ کَأَغْزَرِ مَا کَانَتْ لَوْنُهَا کَالزَّعْفَرَانِ وَرِيحُهَا کَالْمِسْکِ وَمَنْ جُرِحَ جُرْحًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَعَلَيْهِ طَابَعُ الشُّهَدَائِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3149
Muadh bin Jabal said that he heard the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم say: “Whoever fights in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, for the length of time between two milkings of a she-camel, Paradise is guaranteed for him. Whoever asks Allah to be killed (in Jihad) sincerely, from his heart, then dies or is killed, he will have the reward of a martyr. Whoever is wounded or injured in the cause of Allah, it will come on the Day of Resurrection bleeding the most it ever bled, but its color will be like saffron, and its fragrance will be like musk. Whoever is wounded in the cause of Allah, upon him is the seal of the martyrs.” (Sahih)
