ذِكْرُ رَجَاءِ نَوَالِ الْجِنَّانِ بِالثَّبَاتِ تَحْتَ أَظِلَّةِ السُّيُوفِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
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)
سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ وَهُوَ بِحِصْنِ الْعَدُوِّ أَوْ بِحَضْرَةِ الْعَدُوِّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ رَثَّ الْهَيْئَةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ «أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ» ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ فَأَلْقَاهُ ثُمَّ مَضَى بِسَيْفِهِ قُدُمَا فَضَرَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ
