حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ أَخْبَرَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ مَالِکٍ الْجَنْبِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ کُلُّ مَيِّتٍ يُخْتَمُ عَلَی عَمَلِهِ إِلَّا الَّذِي مَاتَ مُرَابِطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنْمَی لَهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَی يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَأْمَنُ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الْمُجَاهِدُ مَنْ جَاهَدَ نَفْسَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ وَجَابِرٍ وَحَدِيثُ فَضَالَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1621
Narrated Fadalah bin 'Ubaid: That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The deeds of everyone who dies are sealed. Except for the one who dies guarding the frontier from the enemy, in the cause of Allah. For indeed his actions are increased for him until the Day of Judgement, and he is secure from the tribulation of the grave. And I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: The Mujahid is one who strives against his own soul. [Abu 'Eisa said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Uqbah bin 'Amir and Jabir. The Hadith is Fadalah is a Hasan Sahih Hadith.
