ذِكْرُ انْقِطَاعِ الْأَعْمَالِ عَنِ الْمَوْتَى وَبَقَاءِ عَمَلِ الْمُرَابِطِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَ أَمْنِهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The deeds of everyone who dies are sealed. Except for the one who dies guarding the frontier from the enemy, in the cause of Allah. For indeed his actions are increased for him until the Day of Judgement, and he is secure from the tribulation of the grave." And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "The Mujahid is one who strives against his own soul." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1621)  

ابن حبّان:٤٦٢٤أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ

أَنَّ عَمْرَوَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ الْجَنْبِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ مَيِّتٍ يُخْتَمُ عَلَى عَمَلِهِ إِلَّا الَّذِي مَاتَ مُرَابِطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْمُو لَهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَأْمَنُ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ» قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْمُ جَاهِدُ مَنْ جَاهَدَ نَفْسَهُ لِلَّهِ ﷻ»

The Prophet ﷺ said: Everyone who dies will have fully complete his action, except one who is on the frontier (in Allah's path), for his deeds will be made to go on increasing till the Day of Resurrection, and he will be safe from the trial in the grave. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2500)   

أحمد:٢٣٩٥١وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ كُلُّ مَيِّتٍ يُخْتَمُ عَلَى عَمَلِهِ إِلَّا الَّذِي مَاتَ مُرَابِطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْمُو عَمَلُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَأْمَنُ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ

"كُلُّ مَيِّتٍ يُخْتَمُ عَلَى عَمَله إلا الَّذِي مَاتَ مُرَابطًا فِي سَبيلِ الله؛ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْمُو لَهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَيُؤَمَّنُ مِنْ فَتَّانِ الْقَبْرِ".
