ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُرَابِطَ الَّذِي يَجْرِي لَهُ أَجْرُ عَمَلِهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَجْرُ عَمَلِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْمَلُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ مِنَ الطَّاعَاتِ

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Keeping watch for a day and a night is better (in point of reward) than fasting for a whole month and standing in prayer every night. If a person dies (while, performing this duty), his (meritorious) activity will continue and he will go on receiving his reward for it perpetually and will be saved from the torture of the grave.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صِيَامِ شَهْرٍ وَقِيَامِهِ وَإِنْ مَاتَ جَرَى عَلَيْهِ عَمَلُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْمَلُهُ وَأُجْرِيَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ وَأَمِنَ الْفَتَّانَ  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever guards Ribat (the frontier) in the cause of Allah for one day and one night, he will have (a reward) like that of fasting and praying Qiyam for a month. If he dies he will continue to receive reward for what he did, and he will be kept safe from Al-Fattan, and he will be given provision.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ رَابَطَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً كَانَتْ لَهُ كَصِيَامِ شَهْرٍ وَقِيَامِهِ فَإِنْ مَاتَ جَرَى عَلَيْهِ عَمَلُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْمَلُ وَأَمِنَ الْفَتَّانَ وَأُجْرِيَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Keeping watch for a day and a night is better (in point of reward) than fasting for a whole month and standing in prayer every night. If a person dies (while, performing this duty), his (meritorious) activity will continue and he will go on receiving his reward for it perpetually and will be saved from the torture of the grave. (Using translation from Muslim 1913a)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صِيَامِ شَهْرٍ وَقِيَامِهِ وَمَنْ مَاتَ مُرَابِطًا جَرَى عَلَيْهِ عَمَلُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْمَلُ وَأُومِنَ الْفَتَّانَ»  

"رباط يوْمٍ ولَيْلَةٍ خَيْرٌ منْ صيامِ شَهْرٍ وقيامه، وَإِنْ مات مُرابطًا جرى علَيْه عملُهُ الَّذى كَانَ يعْملُهُ، وأُجرى علَيْه رزْقُهُ وأَمنَ منَ الفتن".  

"مَنْ مَاتَ مُرَابطًا في سَبِيلِ الله، أُجِيرَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ، وَجَرَى عَلَيهِ صَالِحُ عَمَلِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْمَلُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ".
