Surely, the gates of Paradise are under the shadows of the swords. A man in a shabby condition got up and said; Abu Musa, did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say this? He said: Yes. (The narrator said): He returned to his friends and said: I greet you (a farewell greeting). Then he broke the sheath of his sword, threw it away, advanced with his (naked) sword towards the enemy and fought (them) with it until he was slain. (Using translation from Muslim 1902)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ رَثُّ الْهَيْئَةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَأَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ هَذَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ ثُمَّ مَشَى بِسَيْفِهِ إِلَى الْعَدُوِّ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ
