ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ لَا يُفْضُلُونَ الشُّهَدَاءَ إِلَّا بِدَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ فَقَطْ
[Machine] He heard Utbah ibn Abdus-Sulami, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , narrating that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The slain ones (in battle) are of three types: a believer who fought in the cause of Allah with his life and wealth until he met the enemy and was killed, so he is a martyr who will be tested and rewarded under the Throne of Allah. The prophets do not surpass him in status except by the degree of prophethood. And a believer who feels disgusted with himself due to sins and transgressions and fought in the cause of Allah with his life and wealth until he met the enemy and was killed, so his sins and transgressions are eradicated. Verily, the sword wipes away transgressions. He will enter Paradise from any of its eight gates that he wishes, while Hellfire has seven gates, and some of them are better than others. And a hypocrite who fought in the cause of Allah with his life and wealth until he met the enemy and was killed, so he will be in the Fire. Verily, the sword does not erase hypocrisy."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ السُّلَمِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْقَتْلَى ثَلَاثَةٌ رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَذَلِكَ الشَّهِيدُ الْمُمْتَحَنُ فِي خَيْمَةِ اللَّهِ تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ وَلَا يَفْضُلُهُ النَّبِيُّونَ إِلَّا بِفَضْلِ دَرَجَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ قَرَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَتِلْكَ مَصْمَصَةٌ مَحَتْ ذُنُوبَهُ وَخَطَايَاهُ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ مَحَّاءٌ لِلْخَطَايَا وَأُدْخِلَ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَاءَ فَإِنَّ لَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ أَبْوَابٍ وَلِجَهَنَّمَ سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ وَبَعْضُهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَرَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ جَاهَدَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَذَلِكَ فِي النَّارِ إِنَّ السَّيْفَ لَا يَمْحُو النِّفَاقَ»
