Random ḥadīth in Bayhaqī
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The martyrs are three: a believer who goes out with his life and wealth and fights until he is killed. He is considered the one who is tested in the tent of Allah under His Throne, and he is not surpassed by the Prophets except by the degree of Prophethood. And a believer who strives against himself with sins and transgressions, and fights until he is killed. That is a purified one beneath his sins and transgressions. Indeed, the sword wipes away sins." And it was said to him, "Enter from whichever gates of Paradise you wish, for it has eight gates, and Hell has seven gates, some of which are better than others, meaning the gates of Paradise." And a hypocrite who goes out with his life and wealth and fights until he is killed, he is in the fire. Indeed, the sword does not wipe out hypocrisy.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْقَتْلَى ثَلَاثَةٌ رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَذَلِكَ الْمُمْتَحَنُ فِي خَيْمَةِ اللهِ تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ لَا يَفْضُلُهُ النَّبِيُّونَ إِلَّا بِدَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ فَرِقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَتِلْكَ مَصْمَصَةٌ تَحُتُّ ذُنُوبَهُ وَخَطَايَاهُ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ مَحَّاءٌ لِلْخَطَايَا وَقِيلَ لَهُ ادْخُلْ مِنْ أِيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ شِئْتَ فَإِنَّهَا ثَمَانِيَةُ أَبْوَابٍ وَلِجَهَنَّمَ سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ بَعْضُهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ يَعْنِي أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ وَرَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَذَاكَ فِي النَّارِ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ لَا يَمْحُو النِّفَاقَ
