Random ḥadīth in Aḥmad
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Whoever leaves his house as a fighter in the cause of Allah, and then he pointed with his three middle fingers, the index finger, and the thumb, saying, 'Where are the fighters?' Then he clapped them together and said, 'And where are the martyrs?' If he dies while his mount pushes him, his reward will be upon Allah. If he is stung by a creature and dies, his reward will be upon Allah. If he dies due to a sickness in his nose, his reward will be upon Allah. By Allah, this is a statement that I have not heard from anyone among the Arabs before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So if he dies, his reward will be upon Allah. And whoever is killed while being disobedient, then he has brought upon himself destruction."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُجَاهِدًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ﷻ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ هَؤُلَاءِ الثَّلَاثِ الْوُسْطَى وَالسَّبَّابَةِ وَالْإِبْهَامِ فَجَمَعَهُنَّ وَقَالَ وَأَيْنَ الْمُجَاهِدُونَ؟ فَخَرَّ عَنْ دَابَّتِهِ وَمَاتَ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ ﷻ أَوْ لَدَغَتْهُ دَابَّةٌ فَمَاتَ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ أَوْ مَاتَ حَتْفَ أَنْفِهِ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ ﷻ وَاللهِ إِنَّهَا لَكَلِمَةٌ مَا سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَبْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَاتَ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ قَعْصًا فَقَدِاسْتَوْجَبَ الْمَآبَ
