A man from Banu Nabit (one of the Ansar tribes) came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: I testify that there is no god except Allah and that thou art His bondman and Messenger. Then he went forward and fought until he was killed. The Prophet ﷺ said: He has done a little but shall be given a great reward.  

مسلم:١٩٠٠حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّاءَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّبِيتِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَنَابٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّاءَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي النَّبِيتِ قَبِيلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّكَ عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ فَقَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَمِلَ هَذَا يَسِيرًا وَأُجِرَ كَثِيرًا
