[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The status of one in the path of Allah for an hour is better for him than his entire life with his family." Suhail said, "And I will remain stationed (in the battlefield) until I die and never return to Mecca." So, he remained stationed in the Levant until he died from the plague of ‘Amawas. Indeed, this plague occurred in the Levant in the year eighteen after the Hijrah." Al-Dhahabi excluded it from the summary due to its weakness.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَقَامُ أَحَدِكُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ سَاعَةً خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ عُمُرَهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ» قَالَ سُهَيْلٌ «وَأَنَا مُرَابِطٌ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ وَلَا أَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ أَبَدًا» «فَبَقِيَ مُرَابِطًا بِالشَّامِ إِلَى أَنْ مَاتَ بِهَا فِي طَاعُونِ عَمَوَاسٍ وَإِنَّمَا وَقَعَ هَذَا الطَّاعُونُ بِالشَّامِ سَنَةَ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ» حذفه الذهبي من التلخيص لضعفه
