حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْوَدَّاکِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَضْحَکُ إِلَی ثَلَاثَةٍ لِلصَّفِّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَلِلرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَلِلرَّجُلِ يُقَاتِلُ أُرَاهُ قَالَ خَلْفَ الْکَتِيبَةِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 200
It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-IKhudri said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Allah smiles at three things: a row in the prayer, a man who prays in the depths of the night, and a man who fights’ I think he said, ‘behind the battalion.’” (Da’if)
