حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو کُرَيْبٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَی عَنْ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ فِرَاسٍ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْمُجَاهِدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَضْمُونٌ عَلَی اللَّهِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَکْفِتَهُ إِلَی مَغْفِرَتِهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَرْجِعَهُ بِأَجْرٍ وَغَنِيمَةٍ وَمَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ کَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الَّذِي لَا يَفْتُرُ حَتَّی يَرْجِعَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2754
It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet said: "The one who fights in the ca use of Allah has a guarantee from Allah. Either He will raise him to His forgiveness and mercy, or He will send him back with reward and spoils of war. The likeness of the one who fights in the cause of Allah is that of one who fasts and prays at night without ceasing, until he returns." (Hasan)
